I'm bullish on the tech-enhanced real estate sectors—cell towers, data centers, and industrial REITs—driven by e-commerce and AI growth. My top picks are American Tower, Prologis, and Equinix, forming the 'APE' tech-trifecta for strong returns. Each REIT offers attractive valuations, robust growth prospects, and solid balance sheets, with forecasted annualized returns of 16-20%.
American Tower remains a soft 'buy' due to its industry stability, steady growth, and strong cash flows despite premium valuation. Recent results show modest revenue growth, with data centers and services offsetting flat property revenue and regional currency headwinds. Leverage is lower than peers, and management's guidance points to continued solid cash flow and EBITDA for 2025.
AMT rallies 18.7% YTD as its data center push and focus on developed markets fuel investor confidence.

uniQure recently divested from its Lexington facility to Genezen and freed $25 million while significantly reducing its operating costs.

Similarly, QURE is building MRI-guided infusion centers, payer-access teams, and a US Center of Excellence network. All of these moves prove management's high confidence in AMT-130.

Infrastructure is essential to everyday life for most of civilization, which can provide stability and predictable cash flows. We are looking at two different closed-end funds that provide diversified exposure to the rather broad infrastructure space. Both invest in infrastructure and even include global weightings; however, the strategies employed still differ, which can make them complementary holdings.

AMT's dividend profile is impressive, with consistent growth and solid interest coverage, despite a modest yield compared to the sector median.
AMT's Q1 results reflect a year-over-year rise in revenues, led by property and service operations segment revenues. Strong organic tenant billing growth aids results.
