Volatility is currently expanding
Investors interested in stocks from the REIT and Equity Trust - Other sector have probably already heard of Alpine Income (PINE) and EastGroup Properties (EGP). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now?
In theory, REITs should deliver abnormal returns when inflation runs hot. In practice, REITs have barely registered positive returns. While I am not overly bullish on REITs (to say the least), I still see some exceptions that might be worth scooping up.

Investors interested in stocks from the REIT and Equity Trust - Other sector have probably already heard of Cousins Properties (CUZ) and EastGroup Properties (EGP). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
REITs are poised for 6-7% earnings growth in coming years, outpacing the historical 3-4% average, with multiple sectors showing accelerating fundamentals. Shopping centers, healthcare (notably senior housing), and data centers are standout sectors, benefiting from robust private market demand, supply constraints, and AI-driven tailwinds. Office REITs see improving leasing, especially from AI-related demand, while quality bifurcation widens; overweight positions in BXP and CUZ reflect this thesis.
Investors interested in REIT and Equity Trust - Other stocks are likely familiar with Cousins Properties (CUZ) and EastGroup Properties (EGP). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?
