XLRE: Downgrade To Sell, As 5-Year Rough Patch Continues
REITs, especially XLRE, have delivered mediocre returns since the pandemic, barely outperforming T-bills and offering little upside beyond dividends. Rising interest rates and market indexation have eroded REITs' traditional advantages, making them less attractive for long-term, sleep-at-night strategies. XLRE's largest holdings show lackluster performance, with only a few contributors; the sector remains vulnerable to further downside risk.

During the last six recessions, the real estate equity sector posted positive performance in four of them, all except for 2008 and the COVID-19 crash. XLRE has a competitive expense ratio and is more concentrated in large and quality REITs, which has historically boosted its performance. Personally, I expect a controlled economic scenario, even though there is a strong atmosphere of distrust in the markets.

5 Dividend Growth Stocks I'm Buying As Defensive Sectors Become Sexy Again
The market has shifted from tech to defensive stocks, with real estate and consumer staples outperforming due to tariffs and trade wars. US companies with high foreign sales exposure are struggling, while non-US stocks benefit from an international backlash against US tariffs. My buy list is narrowing, focusing on undervalued, high-conviction dividend growth stocks like Blackstone and Alphabet, despite market volatility.
