Can These REITs Mirror Truth Social's 2024 Surge Amid Trump's Potential Return?

In the midst of a pivotal election year, with the prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the political arena igniting market dynamics—underscored by a nearly 200% rally in Digital World Acquisition Corp. DWAC in 2024—investors are turning their attention to sectors poised for growth. Among these, real estate investment trusts (REITs) such as Public Storage PSA, Welltower Inc. WELL, and Simon Property Group SPG are emerging as beneficiaries of Trump’s economic policies, which prioritize revitalization and deregulation.

Don't Miss:

• Investing in real estate just got a whole lot simpler. This Dara Khosrowshahi-backed startup will allow you to become a landlord in just 10 minutes, and you only need $100.
• Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, but few investors have the capital or resources needed to invest in this asset class. A platform backed by industry giant Marcus & Millichap is changing that, allowing individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000. 

Public Storage, a leader in the self-storage sector with a dividend yield of 4%, is well-positioned to benefit from an economy buoyed by Trump’s growth-focused policies. With thousands of locations across the U.S., Public Storage offers solutions for the increasing demand for storage space, driven by consumerism and the transient nature of today’s workforce. The company’s robust business model, characterized by low operational costs and high profit margins, makes it an attractive option for investors seeking steady income and long-term capital appreciation.

Welltower Inc., specializing in healthcare infrastructure with a dividend yield of 3%, operates at the intersection of healthcare and real estate. With an aging population and Trump’s potential focus on healthcare reform, Welltower’s portfolio of senior living communities, outpatient medical properties, and long-term care facilities is crucial. The company’s strategic investments in prime locations and partnerships with leading healthcare providers underscore its commitment to delivering shareholder value while addressing the critical need for healthcare services.

Simon Property Group, the largest mall operator in the U.S. with a dividend yield of 5%, could see a resurgence in the retail sector driven by Trump’s pro-business stance. SPG’s portfolio of premium shopping malls and outlet centers, strategically located in key markets, is poised to capitalize on increased consumer spending. Simon’s focus on enhancing shopper experiences through mixed-use developments that include retail, dining, and entertainment options aligns with evolving consumer preferences, ensuring its properties remain vibrant and profitable.
