The 4TH Quarter For The Economy: REIT Signals Are Flashing “BUY”
The REIT market has lagged the S&P 500 since mid-2016, but three signals suggest this trend may be ready to reverse. Based on the evidence below, it may be time to take REITs off the bench and put them in your starting line-up.

• REIT NAV’s are moving up for the first time since 2015, while earnings growth for the S&P 500 is peaking
• Current ISM readings point to stronger forward returns for REITs than cyclical sectors
