I'm recommending two beaten-down REITs, American Assets Trust and Alexandria Real Estate, as long-term dividend plays with strong fundamentals and well-covered yields. Both stocks face near-term headwinds, but offer attractive entry points for patient investors seeking multi-year recovery and income. AAT is undervalued due to office exposure and California concentration, but has solid financials, a safe dividend, and multifamily growth potential.
American Assets Trust offers a compelling 7.1% dividend yield with a conservative 69% payout ratio, making it attractive for income investors. AAT's diversified portfolio in high-demand coastal markets and strategic capital recycling position it for steady FFO/share growth, despite short-term headwinds. The stock's current price of $19.11 and a forward P/FFO of 9.7 presents a significant discount to its historical valuation, indicating strong value.

American Assets Trust offers a 7.58% yield, strong fundamentals, and growth potential despite challenges in the office sector and economic headwinds. Rexford Industrial Realty, with a 5.39% yield, remains attractive due to solid fundamentals, significant upside, and a well-covered dividend despite tariff impacts.

REITs are highly attractive now due to stable or falling interest rates and low inflation, with many offering strong yields while being undervalued.
