Some REITs suffered a dip in recent weeks. As a result, they have become cheap again. We highlight 2 of our favorite buy-the-dip opportunities.
Mersana Therapeutics is developing novel antibody-drug conjugates targeting a heretofore untapped immune checkpoint, as well as HER2 from another angle. The company has an operational runway of 6-7 quarters excluding collaboration revenues. The promise of phase 1 trial data gives us a chance to see if Mersana's ADC platform can make drugs that are more tolerable than those being developed by competitors.
Dividend growth stocks, though not often the most exciting, can offer the potential for growing wealth and passive income over the long run. Every month, we screen for potential opportunities, starting with initial parameters, including dividend safety, growth, and consistency. Of course, further due diligence is essential; these initial screenings are just that “initial” and highlight potential names worth considering further but require further due diligence.
Agree Realty and VICI Properties are high-quality REITs with strong fundamentals and impressive total returns, but currently offer little margin of safety due to their run-up in share prices. Investing with a margin of safety helps manage market volatility; for example, my cost basis of $53 for Realty Income has helped me stomach volatility and the stock's underperformance. I recommend assigning stocks specific roles in your portfolio; for example, Starwood Property for stable dividends, PepsiCo for moderate growth, and Visa for high growth, balancing income and growth.
Net lease real estate investment trust (REIT) Agree Realty (ADC 1.39%) has a 4.1% dividend yield. That yield is a little higher than the 3.7% average for the REIT sector, but below the 5.6% you could get from buying industry leading net lease REIT Realty Income.

Some dividends are more durable than others. That's due to a combination of the underlying company's financial strength and the resiliency of its business model.
I have outperformed REIT sector averages over the long run. But I could have done even better. I discuss my #1 biggest mistake I have made as a REIT investor.
The U.S. stock market is highly valued, driven by Big Tech and AI investments, with speculative fervor reminiscent of the late 1990s. Some REITs, like W.P. Carey, face challenges due to poor capital allocation and strategic missteps, leading to underperformance compared to tech stocks. Many other REITs, however, have been beaten down due to short-term supply headwinds and their treatment as bond proxies.
