Since the pandemic, Rithm Capital (RITM) has dramatically expanded its business operations; it now functions as a global asset manager. But, the market continues to price RITM as if it were still a narrowly focused finance REIT. Over the last few years, Rithm has expanded its business to offer a wide range of finance and […]
This is a REIT tale that I have a bit of trouble telling. My timing on a particular REIT was not good, and my subscribers missed out on a nice gain. However, there is a good lesson here – and it shows why REITs are undervalued right now. Let’s take a look at why now […]
Real estate investment trust (REIT) values are inversely sensitive to rising interest rates. With the Federal Reserve starting the most rapid rate increase trajectory in history two years ago, REIT values have fallen by about 35% over the same two years. With interest rates likely to stay higher for longer, what are the prospects for […]
November was an excellent month for the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 gained 9.1% in the month, compared to losing 5% over the previous two months. I was especially pleased to see the real estate sector (read: REITs) near the top of the sector performance chart. And more is coming. Let me show you… […]
If you asked the typical investor which two sectors led the charge in November’s big stock rally, few would come up with the right answer. The sector everyone would assume correctly that led the pack is technology, with a 13% gain. But the second sector—with a 12% rise—would not only come as a huge surprise, […]
Self-storage real estate investment trusts (REITs) have an excellent long-term track record. However, the pandemic shutdown, followed by the reopening of the economy, produced a boom and then a bust for self-storage operators. The year-and-a-half decline for these REITs is over, and it’s time to add some self-storage to your portfolio. Let’s take a look […]
Since October 2022, the broader stock market has experienced a nice recovery coming out of the bear market. However, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have not participated fully in the stock market gains of the last ten months. As a result, REITs look very undervalued and may be the next sector to move strongly higher. […]
Earnings season offers unique opportunities. This is a time when management teams host conference calls for Wall Street analysts. Listening to calls or reading the transcripts gives me insight into how well companies are managed. I believe that most analysts and investors do not pay enough attention to management teams and whether or not they […]
One of the hottest topics of conversation on Wall Street, and among my colleagues like Tim Plaehn and Tim Melvin here at Investors Alley, is the state of the U.S. commercial real-estate market (CRE). The story on Wall Street, as articulated by media outlets such as Bloomberg, is that a $1.5 trillion “Wall of Debt”—mortgages […]
The 2022 bear market took the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector down, along with the broader stock market. Most of the stock market bottomed in October 2022, but has recovered a significant portion of the bear market losses. REITs have not participated in the recent market gains, with share prices remaining near their 18-month […]
