Treasury yields hit multi-year highs as Fed rate hike expectations, oil prices and fiscal concerns weigh on bonds. Explore ETFs positioned for rising rates.

With low valuations for the sector overall, follow-on common equity offerings for US real estate investment trusts have declined significantly in recent years. US equity REITs have largely preferred issuing common stock through at-the-market offering programs as opposed to more standard follow-on equity offerings in recent years. US REITs raised $77.58 billion through common stock sold under their ATM programs between July 1, 2022, and March 31, 2026.

Sticky inflation and rising rate fears are putting pressure on markets. These ETFs may help investors navigate a higher-rate environment.

There was a sharp rise in Treasury yields last week, with the 30-year Treasury yield climbing above 5.1% on May 15, 2026. Investor concerns intensified after a series of economic reports suggested inflationary pressures were picking up again, partly due to elevated oil prices linked to Middle East tensions.

After 1,078 trading days, U.S. REITs (FTSE NAREIT All Equity Total Return Index) reached new all-time highs on Friday, April 17. Commercial real estate (CRE) has already undergone a significant valuation reset, while many other public and private markets have yet to experience a comparable repricing.

Year-to-date returns across the REIT market varied remarkably, with large gains from non-U.S. REITs and U.S. healthcare REITs, while U.S. residential and data center sectors were notable laggards.

Today's public REIT market looks a lot different than what most investors expect. Sectors previously considered niche have grown to be essential in today's economy and society.

For nearly five decades, US REITs have delivered stronger returns than broad US stocks in the 12 months following Federal Reserve easing cycles. Rate cuts may increase the attractiveness of REIT dividends, potentially making them a compelling option for investors seeking yield potential and portfolio diversification. Data centers, telecom infrastructure, and health care REITs have historically benefited the most from lower rates due to long-duration leases and capital-intensive models.

A surprising solid REIT earnings season wrapped up this week. Of the 100 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 62% raised their outlook - above the historical 55% average. Disinflation was a surprisingly common thread across second-quarter results, with the majority of the upside revisions being driven by improved expense expectations - the highest quantity of expense reductions ever. Healthcare REITs were notable upside standouts as senior housing fundamentals remained stellar, while skilled nursing REITs received some good news on the policy front via healthy CMS Medicare rate increases.

Return to office mandates are providing a boost to REITs. Some deal activity has also been a tailwind. Tariffs and slowing residential rent growth remain headwinds.

Most US REITs make nearly 90% of their revenue domestically, compared to 72% for typical U.S. stocks. Healthcare, residential, and needs-based retail are less affected by trade disruptions, while office, lodging, and timber are more vulnerable. They're trading at a -2.79x earnings multiple discount to US stocks - one of the widest gaps in decades.
