REITs are on the rise...
Here's 10 reasons to keep REITs on the radar:
REITs have put in a head and shoulders bottoming pattern.
Global REIT breadth has surged from washed out oversold levels.
Sentiment is turning up from record pessimism (contrarian bullish).
Positioning is extremely light among retail (ETF market implied allocations record low) and institutional investors (surveys show major underweights to REITs).
The relative performance line for REITs vs stocks is turning up after an extreme downside deviation from mean/trend (expect eventual upside trend reversion).
REIT relative valuations vs the $.SPX(.SPX)$ are ticking up from extreme cheap levels.
Absolute valuations are ticking up after briefly revisiting the 2020 lows last year.
REIT sector financials have held up decent all things considered (interest coverage in line with historical averages, ROA/ROE rebounding from cyclical lows).
The reset in CRE and REIT prices has already been significant in price and time (n.b. not every downturn has to be 2008, which was highly unusual).
Previous rising rate headwinds are fading as bond yields and Fed rates have peaked for now.
