Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT)

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:26:03 GMT

Amid positive signals emanating from the uptick in housing prices and an improving outlook for consumer spending, the housing sector is gradually stabilizing. Both new and existing home sales have increased during the last four consecutive months and are now 32% and 17% above their recent lows, respectively. Single-family housing starts have also risen 37% from their low point, and inventories of homes-for-sale have fallen sharply.[More...]

Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY) Cuts Dividend 80 Percent, Who’s Next?

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:44:06 GMT

“Let’s take a quick look at these stocks moving lower right now. Timber producing Weyerhauser is cutting the dividend from 25 cents to 5 cents and that stock is moving lower, about 5% today.” Fox Business Network 7/7/2009 Weyerhaeuser Company (WY), which produces lumber and other forestry products, has now founded it necessary to chop down their dividend. Their lumber is often used by homebuilders and with housing starts still very low, it is still a very tough time for Weyerhaeuser. The company is expected to lose somewhere around[More...]

REIT Stocks Sold Quietly Overnight At A Discount; Next Day Pop Fries Shorts

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:40:12 GMT

If Frank Quattrone could start over, he would be a REIT banker. REITs staged a huge rally this quarter, almost $15 billion in new equity has been raised through 45 public offerings this year, and even the Italians are descending upon New York to list new deals. With REIT stocks now being offered up like Cannolis on Columbus Day, and consumed almost as fast by shell-shocked but somehow still hungry investors, you may have one question: What is Going On? One reason is that REITs cram down desperately need the money, and while not all are "twittering" on the brink insolvency, most will do[More...]

Vornado to Pay Part of Quarterly Dividend in Stock

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:58:00 GMT

More trouble in REIT land - Vornado (VNO) which is one of the "best in class" - is using stock instead of cash as part of their quarterly dividend payout. Dilution, dilution, dilution. Just imagine what is happening on the low end of the totem pole if this is the situation at the top in REIT-land. That said, I am hoping for a bounce in this group so I can get short at a higher price level as these names have fallen off the cliff the past 7 days. For all the happy talk each time the market rallies - consumer discretionary, finance, and REITs are still to be shorted on the bounces. There problems do not magically go away just because of a calender turn from "2008" to "2009" - in fact they will get worse this year. (unless the government buys every company and puts it under their[More...]

Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) is a New York-based real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires, owns, and leases office properties, retail space and temperature-controlled logistics and refrigerated warehouses. The company owns and manages approximately 100 million square feet of real estate (including pro-rata share of partially-owned properties and joint-ventures). Despite softening market conditions, VNO reported relatively strong 3Q08 results. Overall portfolio occupancy is still high and the company reported strong rental rate increases on new leases at its office and retail properties. Due to strong infill locations in urban areas, VNO is in a better position than most peers to withstand the economic decline in 2009. It is clear that office and retail fundamentals are getting worse and operations will deteriorate in 2009. We[More...]

6 Dividend Stocks Rewarding Their Shareholders With Higher Payouts

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Last week was marked by more volatility which doesn’t seem to surprise anyone. Luckily this time the direction was up as the stock market had its best week since 1974, mainly fueled by the half a percentage point interest cut by the Federal Reserve as well the smaller than expected contraction in the GDP. During those large swings up and down it is easy for investors to lose focus on the big picture and not sticking to their financial plan by converting all of their holdings to cash. Luckily there were several dividend companies that reminded their patient long-term holders that increasing dividend payments could help them out in increasing their total returns over time. Vornado Realty (VNO) announced that its Board has approved a 5.60% increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.90 to $0.95 per common share. Vornado Realty is a [More...]

In his Winning Investing, the advisor looks at a pair of preferred stock favorites, which offer above-average dividend yields of 7.4% to 8.2%."Usually issued at $25 per share, preferreds generally trade in a narrow $24 to $26 range, no matter how well the issuing company fares.
