Qurate Retail saw its business decimated by the pandemic-related supply chain issues. The company’s share price cratered.

The real estate investment trust (REIT) sector has suffered for almost two years in a bear market that started at the end of 2021. REIT share prices should soon bottom, and it’s a great time to invest in the sector. You want to find the best-run companies with the strongest potential for strong dividend growth. […]
