I have been intensively involved in the real estate sector and have discovered some supposedly exciting companies such as

$SPG (+1.7%)
$GLPI (-0.78%)
$CUBE (+1.1%) and $BRX (+0%) discovered.

But there are special features to the valuation of REITs. 🧐

Traditional key figures such as high returns on capital or margins are often misleading, as REITs are legally obliged to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income 🤑 and are also highly leveraged.

In order to better assess REITs, I have read up on the subject and adjusted my valuation standards. Instead of adjusted earnings, I now focus more on funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which more realistically reflect operating profitability.

Here are some of the companies that I find particularly interesting:

• Public Storage $PSA (-0.4%) Leading provider in the self storage segment with an FFO yield of approx. 5.9%

• Prologis $PLD (+1.35%) Global leader in logistics real estate with strong growth

• Equinix $EQIX (+0.81%) Data center operator with a scalable business model

• Agree Realty $ADC (-0.71%) Focus on retail properties with long-term rental agreements and an FFO yield of approx. 5.7 %.

I also see Energiekontor $EKT (-3.23%) as an alternative real estate investment 🤓. Energiekontor currently operates 39 of its own wind and solar parks, which generate electricity revenues instead of rental income.

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

I like the ETF and it really seems to be an option for old age, but through $HTGC (+1.18%)
$OBDC (-0.56%) and $PSA (-0.4%) I already have enough cash flow in my portfolio.

Will be reallocated to the div growth category

$ASML (+1.65%) is out, as I want to focus more on stocks with a healthy trend in the growth part of my portfolio. See the weekly chart.

At the moment I am running a 75/25 strategy with which I feel most comfortable, 15K divided as follows:

Growth 75%: $AVGO (+5.37%)
$COST (-0.97%)
$7011 (+2.26%)
$MUV2 (-0.51%)
$GOOG (+0.95%)
$MUX (+1.69%) (mutares is under observation by me) $2768 (+0%)

Dividend 25%: $OBDC (-0.56%)
$HTGC (+1.18%)
$PSA (-0.4%)
$JEGP (+0.7%)

Costco weighted slightly higher this month to complete the 2nd share.

In addition, another share of $PSA (-0.4%) 288€ was added to the portfolio today.

Hercules has been going great, now I'm taking ⅓ of the position out for the time being in order to $OBDC (-0.56%) & $PSA (-0.4%) to the same size as $HTGC (+1.18%) build up.

Subsequent purchase at my self-storage REIT

Last one for today:

Profits reinvested once again,

My favorite among the REITs,

Anyone who has ever been to the USA has seen these storage areas.

Nothing is more sacred to the Americans than privacy.

Plus dividends and growth

I like this thing and sooner or later interest rates will fall again.

The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund has also made a good grab.

What do you think?

Have a nice weekend!
