Sentiment: Positive

A surprising solid REIT earnings season wrapped up this week. Of the 100 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 62% raised their outlook - above the historical 55% average. Disinflation was a surprisingly common thread across second-quarter results, with the majority of the upside revisions being driven by improved expense expectations - the highest quantity of expense reductions ever. Healthcare REITs were notable upside standouts as senior housing fundamentals remained stellar, while skilled nursing REITs received some good news on the policy front via healthy CMS Medicare rate increases.

BFS
Published: June 24, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Saul Centers, Inc.'s preferred shares offer attractive yields (7.46% and 7.07%) but lack credit ratings from major agencies. Our credit analysis, using Moody's methodology, results in a weak adjusted credit score of B1 for Saul Centers. Given the weak credit profile, I do not recommend buying BFS preferreds; better-yielding, lower-risk alternatives exist in the market.

Published: February 27, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

M&A is beneficial for target shareholders, offering premiums of 10%-50%, and identifying potential buyout targets involves analyzing specific features like discount to NAV and valuation disparity. REITs trading below NAV, especially in hot asset classes, are prime M&A candidates. Willingness to sell, management incentives, and operational synergies are crucial factors in determining a company's likelihood of being acquired.
