Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) play a significant role in the retail sector. Despite an uncertain economic scenario, retail sales held steady last month. The retail sector’s resilience and solid outlook guarantee retailers with healthy cash flows and, in turn, would benefit retail REITs who make the most money from the rent they charge from tenants.
Hence, investing in fundamentally sound retail REIT Saul Centers, Inc. (BFS) could be wise for steady returns. Investors could also monitor EPR Properties (EPR) and Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (UBA) for better entry points in these stocks.
