The industrial REIT sector has seen significant price corrections due to changing macroeconomic factors, making current pricing more investible. Investor enthusiasm has waned, reflected in falling AFFO multiples from 35.5x in 2021 to 20.5x recently.

REITs are poised for growth with stabilizing interest rates, low new supply, and robust balance sheets supporting higher rents and long-term asset growth. Healthcare REITs benefit from strong senior housing demand and limited new supply, despite valuation debates and management changes at Healthcare Realty.

Americold Realty Trust, the largest tradeable cold-storage REIT, has underperformed due to management miscalculations and excess capacity.

U.S. equity markets soared to record highs this week after President-elect Trump scored a surprisingly decisive election victory, including a likely "trifecta" of Republican legislative control in Congress. The outcome sparked powerful moves across global financial markets as investors priced in a combination of domestic-focused and "pro-growth" economic policies but also reflected concern over deficits and immigration policy. Characteristic of the "Trump trade" dynamic, smaller-cap companies led the surge, outperforming mega-cap technology and international-heavy peers. The S&P Small-Cap 600 soared 9%, outpacing 5% gains from the S&P 500.
