Friday, June 7, 2:45 PM Similar to a pattern seen a few times over the past few weeks, underneath a solid rally in the averages are big declines in a number of income favorites. The culprit again is falling Treasury prices, the long bond off more than a full point and yielding 3.32%. Some popular equity REITs: Equity Residential (EQR -1.3%), AvalonBay (AVB -1.4%), HCP (HCP -1.6%), Realty Income (O -2.6%), Senior Housing (SNH -2.9%), Omega Healthcare (OHI -1.3%), Government Properties (GOV -2%). Also: Continued rout in mREITs. 4 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 28, 4:20 AM It was an ugly day in fixed-income - (TLT -2.6%), (LQD -1%) - the 10-year Treasury yield up 15 bps to a 13-month high of 2.16%. Maybe more troubling for those borrowing short and lending long is a 12 bp jump in the 5-year yield to 1.01% (its up from 0.65% in a month), and a 4 bp pop in the 2-year yield to 0.28%. It was shoot first, ask questions last for many income plays such as mREITs (MORT -2.8%), equity REITs (HCN, HCP), utilities, and leveraged income funds (PHK). Owners of the leveraged short Treasury Fund (TBT +5.3%) throw a party, now up 16% in a month. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Financials]
Thursday, May 16, 3:10 PM The dividend payments of Public Storage (PSA), Simon Property (SPG), and HCP make Imperial Capital's "Fit and Healthy" category as payouts exceed the level of Q4 2008. Remaining in the "Recovery Ward" are Boston Properties (BXP), Equity Residential (EQR), Vornado (VNO), and Kimco (KIM) - they've upped dividends but haven't yet recovered to pre-bust levels. "Still Critical" is Prologis (PLD) which has yet to increase its dividend after slashing it in 2009. Comment! [Financials]

Moody's Senior VP notes that REITs have "access to multiple capital sources … at historically low rates that have lengthened their debt maturity profiles," boosted earnings, and increased fixed charge coverage ratios. 1 Comment
