Turmoil In German Commercial Real Estate Market Raises Red Flag For US Office REITs: 5 Stocks To Watch
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Commercial real estate transaction volumes are falling sharply in many parts of the world, including Germany, Sweden, Ireland, and the UK. This is raising concerns that the U.S. office market may soon experience the same. The drop is attributed to rising interest rates, which have increased borrowing costs and demand for yields among potential property investors. Investment bank Stifel warns that the industry may face a decade of limited earnings growth. German residential landlords, such as LEG Immobilien SE, TAG Immobilien AG, and Vonovia SE have been downgraded to a Sell. Five U.S. REITs that could be vulnerable to these changes are Boston Properties Inc., SL Green Realty Corp., Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc., Vornado Realty Trust, and Kilroy Realty Corporation.
