Most stocks are negatively impacted by tariffs. But some specific REITs aren't. I present two tariff-resilient REITs that offer 8%+ dividend yields.
The consensus price target hints at a 35% upside potential for Easterly Government Properties (DEA). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.
DEA's stock price has fallen substantially. Yet, its earnings power remains strong and growing. At the reduced price, the cash flow is opportunistic.
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
REITs offer the highest dividend yields in a decade. Some yields as much as 12% and those dividends are rising. I present three of my favorite high-yielding REITs.

Government real estate owner Easterly Government Properties (DEA -3.40%) reported quarterly results that were roughly in line with expectations, but investors are still more focused on disappointing news the company released earlier in the month.
Easterly Government Properties (DEA) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.73 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.33 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.29 per share a year ago.
Few investors were happy with Thursday's stock market decline, but we should spare a thought or two for Easterly Government Properties (DEA -13.87%) shareholders.
Easterly Government Properties is now paying out a near-record 9.4% dividend yield, that's 112% covered by funds from operations. The REIT is trading at its lowest ever multiple to free cash flow at 7.2x, following negative DOGE sentiment. A weighted average remaining lease term of 10.1 years and mission-critical properties eliminate the threat of DOGE to the dividend.
