Camping World has reached an operational inflection point, reducing debt, embracing AI, and shifting toward higher-margin, recurring revenue streams. Industry fundamentals are improving, with RV shipments projected to reach 328,800–367,000 units in 2026 and strong demand for campgrounds and resorts. Sun Communities and Equity LifeStyle Properties offer durable, recurring cash flows, with SUI trading at a discount and ELS delivering superior dividend growth.

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.

INVH, AMH and ELS are likely to benefit as slowing apartment construction eases supply pressure and supports future rent growth.
