Seeking Alpha • • business
Key Points:
- REITs outperformed the broader market in Q1 2026, driven by discounted valuations, a shift away from large-cap tech stocks, and expectations of interest rate cuts.
- The current market rally, supported by positive geopolitical news, presents a potential opportunity to add REITs during any rotational weakness.
- Geopolitical events and upcoming midterm elections may increase market volatility, making REITs attractive for their steady income and downside resilience, with selected REITs offering an average dividend yield of 6.9% compared to 1.2% for the S&P 500.
- Steven Cress, Head of Quantitative Strategy at Seeking Alpha, highlights three REITs with strong adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) growth and well-covered dividends in sectors benefiting from favorable trends.
- Cress emphasizes a data-driven, quantitative approach to investment, aiming to reduce emotional bias and simplify research through Seeking Alpha’s quantitative rating system and Alpha Picks recommendations.
