U.S. equity markets extended gains to a fifth-straight week despite a continued upswell in benchmark interest rates, as investors weighed a solid start to earnings season against lukewarm inflation data. All eyes were on the Consumer Price Index report, which posted a fractional upside surprise in September for a second-straight month, which followed four straight months of cooler-than-expected reports. Bond markets remained under pressure as buoyant labor market data last week and lukewarm inflation data this week has prompted investors to re-think the prospects of aggressive Fed rate cuts.

Public REITs have benefited from a great rotation within equity markets since the end of June, with U.S. REITs returning 13.2% vs. S&P 500 3.7%. Clear evidence of a growth slowdown and moderating inflation has increased the market's conviction Fed rate cuts are imminent. REITs in sectors such as senior housing, single-family rental, cold warehouse storage, and wireless towers are a compelling opportunity with visible, defensive cash flows that offer attractive growth under a variety of economic outcomes.

My strategy focuses on buying, holding, and adding companies with consistent dividend growth and market outperformance, using data from U.S. Dividend Champions and NASDAQ. I use SCHD and RNP as benchmarks; if a stock can't outperform these, I prefer investing in the ETFs.

Cohen & Steers REIT & Preferred Income Fund is a closed-end fund that primarily invests in the equity of real-estate companies and preferred and fixed-income securities. We believe it is an excellent fund for long-term income investors that is highly diversified and has proven to provide sustainable income in good times and bad. However, the price has run over 17% during the past three months, with the expectations of lower interest rates. In our estimate, well over half of the upside is already built into the current price, which has resulted in a mediocre yield.

Cohen & Steers REIT & Preferred Income Fund operates as a closed end fund that provides diverse exposure to the real estate sector and several preferred securities. Real estate sector may benefit from upcoming interest rate cuts by the end of the year. The current dividend yield sits at 7.3% and is well supported by the fund's internal performance of net investment income and realized gains.

RNP: Likely To Benefit From Interest Rate Cuts

Over 200 U.S. REITs and homebuilders have reported second-quarter earnings results over the past six weeks, providing critical information on the state of the commercial and residential real estate industry. In this report, we highlight some quick incremental positives and negatives we've observed across each of the major property sectors. Next week, we'll publish our detailed "Winners & Losers" Report. Of the 96 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 57 (59%) raised their outlook, while 13 (14%) lowered - well above the historical second-quarter average "raise rate" of 40-45%.

The REIT Comeback: Earnings Recap

We're at the halfway point of another consequential real estate earnings season, with 75 of the roughly 150 equity REITs and 19 of 38 mortgage REITs now having reported results. Amid an otherwise underwhelming earnings season across the broader equity market, REIT earnings results thus far have been materially better than anticipated, providing an added tailwind to rate-related optimism. Of the 65 equity REITs that have provided full-year guidance for Funds from Operations ("FFO"), 44 (68%) have raised their full-year outlook, while just 6 (8%) have lowered their outlook.
