How REITs Could Stage a Huge Comeback in 2026

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour , Dan welcomes Brad Thomas back to the show. Brad is an editor at our corporate affiliate Wide Moat Research. Brad kicks things off by stating why he thinks now is a great time to invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). He shares a chart of different asset classes going back to 2010 to show how many times REITs were a leading sector. He then discusses the Federal Reserve, interest rates, and why he isn't worried about their impact on REITs in the long term. Additionally, he talks about how the growing "silver tsunami" is going to create a surge in REITs. (0:00) Next, Brad details one company primed to meet the silver tsunami demand. It owns its own buildings and rents off the land while possessing a strong balance sheet. Brad then shares his thoughts on data-center REITs and his previous recommendations in that subsector. He also says that more REITs outside of data centers are increasing their investing in AI. But with energy bottlenecks and other factors, the one concern that investors could have is vacant data centers. (15:44) Finally, Brad mentions a sector that's boring yet is stable and provides predictable dividends. He provides an example with one company that had a slowdown due to COVID-19 but is starting to come back from the rough times. And he emphasizes Wide Moat Research's goal of meeting with management teams to see what they do for investors. (35:49)
