U.S. equity markets stumbled to close out the year, while long-term interest rates swelled toward four-month highs, as investors digested resilient economic data and locked in gains from 2025 leaders. The tranquil holiday season was jolted by dramatic geopolitical developments over the weekend, after a U.S. military operation captured and extradited Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro. The stunningly bold strike furthered an ongoing hemispheric realignment, and at minimum, shifted control of the world's largest known oil reserves away from China and Russia toward the United States.

REITs are priced at generationally low valuations. But potentially not for much longer. I explain why and highlight some of my top picks.

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record highs in the Christmas-shortened trading week, buoyed by surprisingly solid GDP data, positive holiday spending trends, and a pullback in global interest rates. The delayed GDP report released this week showed a modest reacceleration in U.S. economic growth in the third-quarter to the strongest pace in two years alongside a cooler-than-expected inflation reading. Precious metals stole the show. Gold, silver, and platinum extended a historic rally fueled by a combination of easing rates, central-bank buying, end-market demand, and investor appetite for hard assets.

Investors looking for stocks in the REIT and Equity Trust - Other sector might want to consider either DiamondRock Hospitality (DRH) or CubeSmart (CUBE). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?

U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance as surprisingly cool inflation data and soft employment data were tempered by a hawkish pushback from Fed officials and skeptics clinging to inflation fears. The critical CPI report showed inflation easing to four-year lows, a heavily criticized report that may, ironically, be the most accurate inflation reading in several years due to collection limitations. The report "zeroed out" shelter inflation due to incomplete collection, combined with an antiquated and lagged sampling methodology, effectively "correcting" its data by removing the most persistent source of distortion.

Some REIT sectors recently suffered a dip. This includes self-storage and apartment REITs. I discuss my top picks.

REITs endured a brutal three-plus-year stretch since March 2022, underperforming the S&P 500 by an unprecedented 70 percentage points, far worse than the Global Financial Crisis. Extreme underperformance has left REITs historically cheap despite solid property-level fundamentals, but this valuation discount carries a cost: elevated capital costs, suppressed transaction activity, and limited external growth opportunities. Depressed public-market valuations have triggered a pronounced “REIT exodus,” with 40 REITs acquired, liquidated, or seeking sales since 2022, while new REIT formation has collapsed to a fraction of norms.

MALVERN, Pa., Dec. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) announced today that its Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.53 per common share for the period ending December 31, 2025.

U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance after an unusually divided Federal Reserve delivered a third-straight rate cut, but signaled a likely "pause" in the easing cycle. Perhaps the last rate cut under the "Powell Fed," the FOMC voted 9-3 to lower the federal funds rate to 3.75%, with two votes to keep rates unchanged. Markets saw hawkish undertones in the updated Economic Projections and commentary from Chair Powell, which emphasized lingering uncertainty around the inflation outlook and lack of conviction in softening labor markets.

U.S. equity markets climbed to the cusp of fresh record-highs as another soft slate of employment data and modest PCE inflation data helped solidify the case for another rate cut. ADP provided the most evident signs of cooling labor markets, posting job losses in three of the past six months and a cooldown in wage growth to four-year lows. The PCE report showed corresponding disinflation in discretionary services categories, offsetting modest upward pressures on goods prices, resulting in the first monthly deceleration in core inflation since April.

Capital Fund Management S.A. purchased a new position in CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) during the second quarter, according to its most recent Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Quality and growth dictate long-term returns. Industrial, data centers, self-storage, and co-working are great property sectors for long-term-oriented investors. If I had to pick just 3 REITs for the next 10 years, it would be these.
