Shares of REIT stocks are trading higher amid a drop in Treasury yields following soft May CPI figures.

Guidance: First quarter FFO per share was above expectations due to lower operating expenses, and we expect straight-line revenue to be higher during the balance of the year. Nevertheless, we have left FFO guidance for the year unchanged, because we expect the operating expense savings and higher straight-line revenue to be offset by higher interest expense. As a result, we still expect Net Income Per Common Share - Diluted to be between $0.04 and $0.10, and our FFO per fully diluted share to be between $1.64 and $1.70. Our guidance does not include the impact of future property acquisitions or dispositions, stock sales or repurchases, financings, property damage insurance recoveries, impairment charges or other possible capital markets activities.

A fresh unexpected surge in inflation blindsided markets, shattering hopes for imminent Fed rate cuts and sending stocks down across the board. In March 2024, the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate surged to 3.5%, up from February&#8217;s 3.2%, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38181302/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-5-in-march-derails-june-rate-cut-hopes">expectations set at 3.4%. </a>
Adding to concerns, core inflation, which excludes energy and food, also exceeded expectations, reaching 3.8% compared to the anticipated 3.7%, dismissing any justifications solely attributed to higher gasoline price pressures. 
Consequently, investors sharply revised down their expectations for Fed rate cuts, now anticipating the commencement of any easing policy no earlier than September, with less than two rate cuts expected by year-end.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Hot/Cold In The CPI Basket?</h3>
Expenditure categories witnessing the highest month-over-month seasonally adjusted price increase in March were: 
<ul>
<li>Motor vehicle insurance: +2.6%</li>
<li>Motor vehicle maintenance and repair: +1.7%</li>
<li>Gasoline (all types): +1.7%</li>
<li>Hospital services: +1%</li>
<li>Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs: +0.9%</li>
</ul>
Those showing the lowest monthly inflation were: 
<ul>
<li>Fuel oil: down 1.3%</li>
<li>Used cars and trucks: down 1.1%</li>
<li>Cereals and bakery products: down 0.9%</li>
<li>Other food at home: down 0.5%</li>
<li>Airline fares: down 0.4%</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday&#8217;s Sector Performance </h3>
By midday trading in New York, losses were broad-based within indices. 
<ul>
<li>454 out of S&amp;P 500 stocks traded in the red</li>
<li>93 Nasdaq 100 stocks were negative</li>
<li>1,783 out of Russell 2000 stocks were negative</li>
<li>898 out of Russell 1000 stocks were negative</li>
</ul>
No sectors managed to evade daily losses, with rate-sensitive pockets of the markets, such as real estate, feeling the brunt more acutely than others.
Energy managed to hold almost steady, as rising gasoline prices improved the outlook for oil companies.

The Federal Reserve&#8217;s indication of upcoming interest rate cuts injected optimism into the real estate sector, particularly benefiting stocks under pressure due to exposure to the office industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit">or elevated debt levels.</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Shift Towards Speculation</h1>
Thursday&#8217;s session suggests the rally has been more pronounced among real estate companies with higher debt levels 
This shift may signify a growing investor inclination towards speculative stocks within the real estate sector, banking on the premise that forthcoming rate cuts could provide a much-needed respite for real estate investment trusts (REITs) grappling with significant debt burdens.
The Fed&#8217;s March dot plot hints at three rate cuts in 2024, with a further three anticipated the following year. This strategic direction is coupled with an upgraded growth forecast, from 1.4% to 2.1%, painting a potentially brighter picture for the real estate sector.

<li>The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>) experienced an uplift, marking a 0.8% rise on Wednesday followed by a 0.7% increase on Thursday.</li>

Shares of REITs are trading lower amid a rise in Treasury yields, which could drive a rotation out of income-paying stocks.

Investors looking for stocks that can appreciate in price along with paying strong dividends should look at stocks that have just beaten Wall Street estimates on earnings and/or revenue. It's a plus if the earnings and revenue are also improvements over the year-ago quarter.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been reporting earnings over the past few weeks and so far, the results have been somewhat mixed. Take a look at three REITs that did well this week with fourth-quarter earnings and have seen price appreciation as a result.&nbsp;
Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>) is an Indianapolis-based retail REIT that owns and leases over 250 properties, consisting of shopping malls, restaurants, outlet centers and entertainment venues. It has locations in the top 25 population markets across the U.S. Simon Property Group was founded in 1960 and launched its initial public offering (IPO) in 1993. Its occupancy rate for its U.S. malls and premium outlets at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 was 95.8%, up from 94.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022
On Feb. 5, Simon Property Group reported fourth-quarter operating results. Funds from operations (FFO) of $3.69 per share, handily beating the estimates of $3.34 and FFO from a year ago of $3.40. Revenue of $1.53 billion beat analysts' estimate of $1.36 billion by 12.38% and was a 9.07% increase over revenue of $1.4 year over year. Note that analysts expected revenue to be lower than it was a year ago, but Simon dispelled that idea.
The only blemish on the report was Simon's full-year 2024 FFO guidance range of $11.85-$12.10 was below 2023 full-year guidance of $12.14-$12.22. &nbsp;
In addition, Simon raised its quarterly dividend from $1.90 per share to $1.95 per share. It's the third raise over the last year. One year ago, the quarterly dividend was $1.80 per share. The annual dividend of $7.80 presently yields 5.43% on its recent closing price of $143.39.
Shares have rallied about 5% since the earnings report was released.

</ul>
Douglas Emmett Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEI#NYSE">DEI</a>) is a diversified REIT, founded in 1971. It has 18 million square feet of Class A office space within 70 properties and 4,576 apartment units in 14 premium buildings in Southern California and Honolulu. Douglas Emmett points to higher rent growth and lower volatility in these two markets, compared to other areas of the U.S.
On Feb. 7, Douglas Emmett reported its fourth-quarter operating results. FFO of $0.46 beat the estimates of $0.42 but was below the fourth-quarter 2022 FFO of $0.51. Revenue of $259.28 million was ahead of analysts' estimates of $252.77 million and improved on revenue of $254.14 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Douglas Emmett pays a $0.19 quarterly dividend. The annual dividend of $0.76 yields 5.97% on its recent closing price of 12.73.
Shares rose over 4% on the morning of the earnings report.
Highwoods Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIW#NYSE">HIW</a>) is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based office REIT that owns, develops, acquires, leases and manages properties in the Southern cities of Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh, Tampa and Richmond. It was founded in 1978 and had its IPO in 1994.
Highwoods owns 28.5 million square feet of office space. As of Sept. 30, its occupancy rate was 88.7% and its weighted average lease term (WALT) was six years. Highwoods' tenant base is well diversified by industries, and its top 10 tenants include Bank of America Corp., the federal government, MetLife Inc., Bridgestone Americas Inc. and PPG Industries. It also owns about 120 acres of land.
On Feb. 7, Highwoods Properties reported its fourth-quarter operating results. FFO of $0.99 per share trounced analyst estimates of $0.91 per share and was above FFO of $0.96 in the fourth quarter of 2022. But revenue of $206.86 million was slightly below the street estimate of $207.83 million and a decline from $211.71 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.&nbsp;
On Jan. 30, Deutsche Bank analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated Highwoods Properties with a Buy rating and announced a price target of $28.
Highwoods pays a quarterly dividend of $0.50. The $2 annual dividend yields 9.2% on its recent closing price of $21.64.
Shares were trading over 2% higher following the earnings announcement.

Douglas Emmett, Inc. (DEI) Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Fortune.com recently <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/08/05/renters-surged-three-times-faster-homeowners/">reported</a> that renter households in the US rose by 1.9% in the second quarter, 3x the increase of homeowner households. It is the third consecutive quarter where this happened, suggesting that rental REITs to buy could be a wise investment in the year&rsquo;s second half.&nbsp;




&ldquo;The cost of both renting and buying a home has skyrocketed in recent years, but the affordability crunch isn&rsquo;t quite as severe in the rental market. That&rsquo;s because America has been building a lot of apartments to keep pace with robust demand from renters,&rdquo; Fortune reported comments from Redfin senior economist Sheharyar Bokhari.&nbsp;




According to Fortune, Los Angeles has the highest percentage of renters in the U.S. at 53%, considerably higher than the national average of slightly more than a third. This tells me that some of the Rental REITs to buy have apartments for rent in the LA area.&nbsp;



Who are these names? Here are my three ideas.&nbsp;



<h2>Douglas Emmett (DEI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/reit1600b-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of a man holding a key chain with a key and house attached to the key ring over a office desk in the background"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Douglas Emmett (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dei-stock-quote/">DEI</a>) is a Los Angeles-based REIT (real estate investment trust) that owns 68 Class A office properties with 17.6 million square feet and <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001364250/1e71bcba-0457-4684-aee0-df77723100ea.pdf">14 multi-family properties</a>. The multi-family properties have 4,483 apartment units in Los Angeles and Honolulu.



In the three months ended June 30, its multifamily revenues were <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001364250/1e71bcba-0457-4684-aee0-df77723100ea.pdf">$46.5 million</a>, with a segment profit of $30.6 million, while its office revenues were $199.2 million, generating a profit of $132.1 million.&nbsp;



Although it has 1o multifamily properties in Los Angeles with approximately 2,000 apartment units, its four properties in Honolulu have 2,487 units. Together, they account for about 20% of its overall rent.&nbsp;



In LA., the REIT&rsquo;s multifamily revenue per unit is <a href="https://s203.q4cdn.com/494743694/files/doc_financials/2024/q2/Investor-Overview-Q2-24.pdf">$4,592</a>, 73% higher than the average for six of its multifamily REIT peers.&nbsp;



Interestingly, the REIT is converting a 25-story, 493,000-square-foot office building into 493 apartment units in Honolulu. It has leased 98% of the 449 units it&rsquo;s already converted. The final two floors will be premium office space.&nbsp;



It has an attractive 5.04% dividend yield. Get paid to wait for further conversions by the REIT.



<h2>Avalon Bay Communities (AVB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/avb-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="AVB stock: an Avalon sign in a garden next to a road"><div>Source: Andriy Blokhin / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Avalon Bay Communities (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/avb-stock-quote/">AVB</a>) isn&rsquo;t based in LA but has a sizeable multifamily presence in Southern California. In the three months ended June 30, it generated <a href="https://investors.avalonbay.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings/content/0000915912-24-000015/0000915912-24-000015.pdf">$148.7 million</a> in quarterly revenue in the region, accounting for 22% overall. This translated into $104.5 million in NOI (net operating income), up from a year ago.&nbsp;



The REIT expects South California same-store residential revenue to increase by <a href="https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_2a9fbd8686dcf49ed7e7891af35bf289/avalonbay/db/2294/21721/presentation/Q2+2024+Teleconference+Presentation+%28FINAL%29_.pdf">4.5%</a> in 2024, the highest growth rate among nine geographical regions.&nbsp;



Avalon Bay&rsquo;s core FFO (funds from operations) per share in the second quarter was $2.77, 11 cents higher than a year earlier.&nbsp;



Through July 31, the REIT had sold five communities (1,069 apartments) for <a href="https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_2a9fbd8686dcf49ed7e7891af35bf289/avalonbay/db/2294/21721/earnings_release/Q2+2024+Earnings+Release.pdf">$514 million</a>. The capitalization rate&mdash;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capitalizationrate.asp">defined</a> as the net operating income divided by the current market value&mdash;was 5.1%. One of the communities sold was the AVA North Hollywood in Los Angeles.&nbsp;



It has 11,992 apartments in LA, 4,024 in Orange County, and 1,767 in San Diego, totaling 17,783. It also owns 12,137 in Northern California. It owns 77,413 units nationwide with an average occupancy rate of 96.0%.&nbsp;



It yields 3.2%.



<h2>Equity Residential (EQR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/eqr-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of a stock chart in the background of a phone cropped to show the Equity Residential (EQR) logo"><div>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Equity Residential (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/eqr-stock-quote/">EQR</a>) is a Chicago-based REIT that owns or has investments in 299 properties (<a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000906107/98336f0a-5336-4ea5-9be9-33fc0dde9c2a.pdf">284</a> wholly-owned) with <a href="https://investors.equityapartments.com/overview/corporate-profile/default.aspx">79,738 apartment units</a>.&nbsp;



Of the 77,054 apartment units included in its Q2 2024 same-store residential revenue, LA accounted for 18.3%. Orange County and San Diego contribute another 6,596 apartments. The region&rsquo;s NOI accounted for 27.0% overall. Washington, D.C. and San Francisco were the next two highest contributors at 16.7% and 15.9%, respectively.&nbsp;



Like Douglas Emmett, it focuses on the Affluent Renter, whose average household income is <a href="https://s1.q4cdn.com/843629197/files/doc_presentations/2024/May/28/eqr-investor-update-june-2024.pdf">$169,000</a>, 59% higher than the U.S. average. The median age of its residents is 32, and its average tenant spends a manageable 20.5% of their income on rent.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



Between 2011 and 2024, the REIT grew its annual dividend by 6%, compounded annually, paying out about 70% of its annual normalized FFO (funds from operations). It currently yields 3.8%.&nbsp;



It currently has just 6.4% of its debt in floating-rate securities.



Given that the inflation-adjusted monthly cost of housing for home ownership has never been greater, rental housing makes sense for even the affluent. With a lack of supply for all residential housing types, rents will remain healthy for REITs like EQR.&nbsp;&nbsp;
