These 3 REIT Subsectors Are Surpassing All Others In Performance
Portfolio Pulse from Ethan Roberts
Three REIT subsectors have outperformed others in the past month due to a tame CPI report and a pause in Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Mortgage REITs (mREITs), specialized REITs, and office REITs are leading, with companies like Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc. (HASI), Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp. (CHMI), and Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (GPMT) showing significant gains. Specialized REITs such as Outfront Media Inc. (OUT), Uniti Group Inc. (UNIT), and Safehold Inc. (SAFE) have also performed well, along with office REITs including Franklin Street Properties Corp. (FSP), City Office REIT Inc. (CIO), and Office Properties Income Trust (OPI).
