Combined with the depth of our pipeline and the performance of our portfolio, this has enabled us to raise our full-year outlook for both investment volume and AFFO per share," said Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer."With substantial liquidity and our 2026 equity needs already addressed, we're confident in our ability to continue deploying capital accretively. And based on the investments we've completed to date, our current pipeline and capital projects delivering this year, we have visibility into well over a billion dollars of investments at cap rates averaging in the mid-sevens. When coupled with our best-in-class rent escalations, we believe the strength and consistency of that growth will drive long-term shareholder value." QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTSRevenuesRevenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2026 first quarter totaled $454.5 million, up 10.9% from $409.9 million for the 2025 first quarter.Lease revenues increased due primarily to net investment activity and rent escalations.Income from finance leases and loans receivable increased primarily as a result of net investment activity.Operating property revenues decreased due primarily to the sale of the Company's entire self-storage operating portfolio, comprising 63 properties sold during 2025 and 11 properties sold during the 2026 first quarter.Net Income Attributable to W. P. CareyNet income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2026 first quarter was $176.3 million, up 40.1% from $125.8 million for the 2025 first quarter, due primarily to higher gains from remeasurement of foreign debt, a lower non-cash allowance for credit loss on finance leases, higher gain on sale of real estate and the accretive impact of net investment activity, partly offset by higher impairment charges.Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)AFFO for the 2026 first quarter was $1.30 per diluted share, up 11.1% from $1.17 per diluted share for the 2025 first quarter, primarily reflecting the accretive impact of net investment activity, rent escalations and higher other lease-related income, partly offset by higher interest expense.Note: Further information concerning AFFO, which is a non-GAAP supplemental performance metric, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.DividendOn March 12, 2026, the Company reported that its Board of Directors increased its quarterly cash dividend to $0.930 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.72 per share, representing a 4.5% increase compared to the 2025 first quarter. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2026. AFFO GUIDANCEThe Company has raised its guidance range for the 2026 full year, primarily reflecting higher expected investment volume and lower estimated potential rent loss from tenant credit events, and currently expects to report AFFO of between $5.16 and $5.26 per diluted share, based on the following key assumptions:(i)   investment volume of between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion, which is revised higher;(ii)  disposition volume of between $250 million and $750 million, which is unchanged;(iii) total general and administrative expenses of between $103 million and $106 million, which is unchanged;(iv) property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, of between $56 million and $60 million, which is unchanged; and(v)  tax expense (on an AFFO basis) of between $45 million and $49 million, which is unchanged.Note: The Company does not provide guidance on net income. The Company only provides guidance on AFFO and does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to net income due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliation as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance. Examples of such items include impairments of assets, gains and losses from sales of assets, and depreciation and amortization from new acquisitions. REAL ESTATEInvestmentsYear to date, the Company completed investments totaling $682.0 million, including $585.3 million during the 2026 first quarter and $96.7 million subsequent to quarter end.The Company currently has nine capital investments and commitments totaling $178.8 million scheduled to be completed during 2026. In addition, the Company has two capital investments and commitments totaling $101.5 million scheduled to be completed during 2027.DispositionsDuring the 2026 first quarter, the Company disposed of 19 properties for gross proceeds totaling $162.6 million, including the sale of the Company's 11 remaining self-storage operating properties for gross proceeds totaling $75.2 million.Contractual Same-Store Rent GrowthAs of March 31, 2026, contractual same-store rent growth was 2.4% year over year, on a constant currency basis.CompositionAs of March 31, 2026, the Company's net lease portfolio consisted of 1,703 properties, comprising 185 million square feet leased to 374 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 12.1 years and an occupancy rate of 98.1%. In addition, the Company owned four hotel operating properties and one student housing operating property, totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet.  BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITALIZATIONLiquidityAs of March 31, 2026, the Company had total liquidity of $2.8 billion, primarily comprising $1.9 billion of available capacity under its Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit), in addition to cash and cash equivalents and available net proceeds under unsettled forward equity sale agreements.Forward EquityAs previously announced, on February 17, 2026, the Company sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock subject to forward sale agreements through an underwritten public offering, and on February 24, 2026 sold an additional 900,000 shares of common stock subject to forward sale agreements through the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, for aggregate gross proceeds totaling $496.8 million.On March 31, 2026, the Company settled a portion of its outstanding forward sale agreements, issuing 3,450,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds totaling $247.1 million.As of March 31, 2026, in combination with shares of common stock sold during 2025 under its ATM program subject to forward sale agreements, the Company had a total of 9,708,496 shares available for settlement under forward sale agreements, representing anticipated net proceeds totaling approximately $653.5 million.Senior Unsecured NotesAs previously announced, on February 24, 2026, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of €1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, comprising the following tranches:€500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due October 2, 2031; and€500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Senior Unsecured Notes due May 10, 2035.
 On March 13, 2026, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay €500 million of 2.250% Senior Unsecured Notes.Senior Unsecured Credit Facility AmendmentAs previously announced, on March 11, 2026, the Company amended its senior unsecured credit facility, replacing the €215 million term loan that it repaid in February with a new CAD$347 million term loan of an equivalent notional amount and under the same terms, duration and extension options. Proceeds were used primarily to finance new investment activity in Canada and it has a floating interest rate of Term CORRA + 80 basis points, for an all-in rate of approximately 3.1% as of March 31, 2026.The amendment also improved the Company's revolver pricing grid by 5 basis points across all levels. *     *     *     *     * Supplemental InformationThe Company has provided supplemental unaudited financial and operating information regarding the 2026 first quarter and certain prior quarters, including a description of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to GAAP measures, in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 28, 2026, and made available on the Company's website at ir.wpcarey.com/investor-relations. *     *     *     *     * Live Conference Call and Audio Webcast Scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time

220,720,310__________(a) Equity income, including amounts that are not typically recognized for FFO and AFFO, is recognized within Earnings from equity method investments on the consolidated statements of income. This represents adjustments to equity income to reflect FFO and AFFO on a pro rata basis.(b) Adjustments disclosed elsewhere in this reconciliation are on a consolidated basis. This adjustment reflects our FFO or AFFO on a pro rata basis.(c) FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures. See below for a description of FFO and AFFO.(d) Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily comprises net gains on foreign currency exchange rate movements of $15.5 million, a mark-to-market unrealized loss for our investment in shares of Lineage of $10.3 million, and non-cash unrealized gains on non-hedging derivatives of $2.2 million. Non-GAAP Financial DisclosureFunds from Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP.We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate, impairment charges on real estate or other assets incidental to the company's main business, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and finance leases, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt and amortization of deferred financing costs. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses, such as gains or losses from extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, merger and acquisition expenses, spin-off expenses, and income and expenses associated with our captive insurance company. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (other than those realized on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives), which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income to arrive at AFFO because they are not the primary drivers in our decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors with a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs. AFFO also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies and determine executive compensation.We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because we believe it will help them better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency exchange rate losses that we exclude may become actual realized losses upon the ultimate disposition of the properties in the form of lower cash proceeds or other considerations. We use our FFO and AFFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO and AFFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net income computed under GAAP, alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP, or indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Carey, NYSE: WPC), a leading net lease REIT specializing in corporate sale-leasebacks, build-to-suits and the acquisition of single-tenant net lease properties, today provided the following business update.InvestmentsDuring the 2026 first quarter, W. P. Carey completed investment volume totaling approximately $580 million. Single-tenant warehouse and industrial properties comprised approximately 60% of first quarter investment volume, while retail properties comprised 40%. From a geographic perspective, approximately 45% of first quarter investment volume was located in Europe and 35% in Canada, with the balance in the U.S.First quarter investments included the approximately $210 million sale-leaseback of a portfolio of 14 high-quality auto dealerships in Western Canada, concentrated in the Greater Vancouver area with additional locations in Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. The dealerships have strong site-level coverage and are net leased to Go Auto, an established market leader and the second largest automotive dealership group in Canada. At the time of investment, Go Auto ranked as W. P Carey's 22nd largest tenant by ABR.In addition, W. P. Carey currently has capital investments and commitments totaling approximately $170 million scheduled to be completed during the remainder of 2026.Credit Agreement Amendment and Canadian-Dollar-Denominated Term LoanOn March 11, 2026, W. P. Carey amended its credit agreement, replacing the €215 million term loan it repaid in February with a new CAD$347 million term loan (the "CAD Term Loan") of an equivalent notional amount and under the same terms, duration and extension options. The CAD Term Loan was primarily used to finance the Company's recent Go Auto investment in Canada and has a floating interest rate of Term CORRA + 80 basis points, for an all-in rate of approximately 3.1% as of March 30.The amendment also improved the Company's revolver pricing grid by 5 basis points at all levels.Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer, W. P. Carey, commented: "We entered the year with significant momentum, supported by a robust pipeline and a well-capitalized balance sheet, which has been further strengthened by our recent capital markets activity. Given the deals we've closed to date, capital projects scheduled to deliver in 2026 and current strength of our pipeline, I'm pleased to say we're tracking well ahead of our initial target investment pace for the year. This, in combination with ample liquidity — including capital we've already locked in at attractive pricing — and compelling rent growth, sees us well positioned to deliver another year of highly attractive AFFO growth."W.

Healthy year-to-date investment volume and an active pipeline are supported by our ability to draw on multiple sources of accretive equity capital — with the vast majority of our anticipated 2026 equity needs already accounted for. Furthermore, we expect to maintain an internal growth rate that's among the best in the net lease sector, contributing a meaningful proportion of our overall AFFO growth."At the midpoint, our initial AFFO guidance implies growth in the low-to-mid 4% range, even as we maintain a conservative stance toward both investment volume and potential credit-related rent loss." QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTSRevenuesRevenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2025 fourth quarter totaled $444.5 million, up 9.4% from $406.2 million for the 2024 fourth quarter.
   
Lease revenues increased primarily due to net investment activity and rent escalations.
   Income from finance leases and loans receivable increased primarily as a result of net investment activity.
   Operating property revenues decreased primarily due to the sale of 63 self-storage operating properties and a student housing operating property, as well as the conversion of four self-storage operating properties to net leases during 2025.Net Income Attributable to W. P. CareyNet income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2025 fourth quarter was $148.3 million, up 215.5% from $47.0 million for the 2024 fourth quarter, due primarily to lower mark-to-market losses recognized on the Company's shares of Lineage, a higher gain on sale of real estate and the accretive impact of net investment activity, partly offset by lower gains from remeasurement of foreign debt.Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)AFFO for the 2025 fourth quarter was $1.27 per diluted share, up 5.0% from $1.21 per diluted share for the 2024 fourth quarter, primarily reflecting the accretive impact of net investment activity and rent escalations, partly offset by outstanding rents collected during the 2024 fourth quarter in connection with a disposition during that period.Note: Further information concerning AFFO, which is a non-GAAP supplemental performance metric, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.DividendOn December 15, 2025, the Company reported that its Board of Directors increased its quarterly cash dividend to $0.920 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.68 per share, representing a 4.5% increase compared to the 2024 fourth quarter. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025. FULL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTSRevenuesRevenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2025 full year totaled $1.72 billion, up 8.9% from $1.58 billion for the 2024 full year. Lease revenues increased primarily due to net investment activity and rent escalations.
   Income from finance leases and loans receivable increased primarily as a result of investment activity, partly offset by the disposition of the U-Haul portfolio during the 2024 first quarter.
   Operating property revenues decreased primarily due to the sale of 63 self-storage operating properties and a student housing operating property during 2025, as well as the conversion of three self-storage operating properties to net leases during 2024 and four during 2025.Net Income Attributable to W. P. CareyNet income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2025 full year totaled $466.4 million, up 1.2% from $460.8 million for the 2024 full year, due primarily to a higher gain on sale of real estate, lower mark-to-market losses recognized on the Company's shares of Lineage and the accretive impact of net investment activity, partly offset by higher losses from remeasurement of foreign debt, a gain on change in control of interests recognized in connection with the Company's acquisition of a third-party joint venture partner's interest in nine self-storage operating properties during 2024 and higher impairment charges.AFFOAFFO for the 2025 full year was $4.97 per diluted share, up 5.7% from $4.70 per diluted share for the 2024 full year, primarily reflecting the accretive impact of net investment activity and rent escalations.Note: Further information concerning AFFO, which is a non-GAAP supplemental performance metric, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.DividendDividends declared during 2025 totaled $3.620 per share, an increase of 3.7% compared to total dividends declared during 2024 of $3.490 per share. AFFO GUIDANCEFor the 2026 full year, the Company expects to report AFFO of between $5.13 and $5.23 per diluted share, based on the following key assumptions:(i)   investment volume of between $1.25 billion and $1.75 billion;(ii)   disposition volume of between $250 million and $750 million;(iii)  total general and administrative expenses of between $103 million and $106 million;(iv)  property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, of between $56 million and $60 million; and(v)  tax expense (on an AFFO basis) of between $45 million and $49 million.Note: The Company does not provide guidance on net income. The Company only provides guidance on AFFO and does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to net income due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliation as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance. Examples of such items include impairments of assets, gains and losses from sales of assets, and depreciation and amortization from new acquisitions. REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIOInvestmentsDuring the 2025 fourth quarter, the company completed investments totaling $625.1 million, bringing total investment volume for the year ended December 31, 2025 to a record $2.1 billion.

See below for a description of FFO and AFFO.(e) Amount for the three months ended December 31, 2025 is primarily comprised of a mark-to-market unrealized loss for our investment in shares of Lineage of $11.7 million and non-cash unrealized gains on non-hedging derivatives of $1.1 million. Non-GAAP Financial DisclosureFunds from Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP.We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate, impairment charges on real estate or other assets incidental to the company's main business, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and finance leases, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt and amortization of deferred financing costs. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses, such as gains or losses from extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, merger and acquisition expenses, spin-off expenses, and income and expenses associated with our captive insurance company. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (other than those realized on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives), which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income to arrive at AFFO because they are not the primary drivers in our decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors with a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs. AFFO also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies and determine executive compensation.We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because we believe it will help them better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency exchange rate losses that we exclude may become actual realized losses upon the ultimate disposition of the properties in the form of lower cash proceeds or other considerations. We use our FFO and AFFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO and AFFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net income computed under GAAP, alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP, or indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Hi B,
WPC is quite near my next "buy" point, but that price does not include the recent news. I think I'll let some dust settle before I put in my next GTC Limit Order to add shares.
The great shake-out from the Covid Shutdown is still occurring. Dr. Fauci is still out there and not being pursued for his involvement in that scandal.

We'll see what happens next.

Best wishes,
OAG

"W. P. Carey: Dividend Gets Whacked"

"W. P. Carey Inc. plans to reposition its portfolio by spinning off some office properties and selling others.
The company believes that getting rid of office properties will improve its organic growth and attract higher valuations from investors.
The strategic repositioning includes a "dividend reset" that will lower the dividend payout, but the dividend yield will still be attractive."

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4636561-w-p-carey-dividend-gets-whacked

WPC cuts dividend and dumps office holdings.

"Getting Rid Of Office Properties
W. P. Carey is a real estate investment trust that invests in triple-net leased properties. These are oftentimes acquired in sale-leaseback transactions and have oftentimes very long lease terms and attractive escalators, in many cases inflation-linked (sometimes with a cap). Long lease terms and locked-in escalators are attractive, and the triple-net lease business model is attractive as well, as the tenant is responsible for higher expenses when it comes to taxes, insurance, and so on. These expenses have been rising due to inflation and other factors, but W. P. Carey was insulated from these headwinds."

"Careful Share Inventory Management has added nicely to the total return." No comment on the severe meltdown amid higher inflation?

Interesting changes going on at troubled WPC.

Careful Share Inventory Management has added nicely to the total return in WPC.



W.P. Carey (WPC) has been in my "Sandbox Stocks" portfolio for several years now. It's a contributor to cash flow via a dividend of around 6%/yr. It was also chosen, being a REIT, as a place to have some anti-inflation hedge and some slow growth. In other words, Total Return. The histogram shows how it's gone so far.

It's not a hyper trader, but as you see, it's opportunistically been traded. Generally the method is trading the appropriate way on the appropriate side of the 26 Week Moving Average. It has done an excellent job of managing Cash Reserves through time while picking off trades at nice inflection points. Yesterday was the first time it's added shares since Fall of 2020. Two subsequent sales kept the Cash Reserve near my ceiling target of 20% of investment +cash value. Note that the dividends are NOT included in the displayed cash level. Those levels are just from the trades.

As of this latest trade, there are more shares in this holding than were purchased at the Start (+16% more shares). Cash Reserve (exclusive of dividends) is 50% higher than the start.

Total Return = Price Appreciation over time + Dividend Capture over time + Profitable Volatility Capture over time.

OAG Tom

Inflation is at its highest level in 40 years. The consumer price index (CPI) surged 7.9% over the last 12 months, the biggest spike since 1982. Unfortunately, the inflation rate might not cool off anytime soon, given the persistent supply chain issues and spiking energy prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This elevated level of inflation is painful as a consumer. However, some companies benefit from inflation, which can boost returns for their investors. Two inflation-fighting stocks to consider are Brookfield Infrastructure ( BIPC 1.77% )( BIP 1.85% ) and W.P. Carey ( WPC 0.09% ). Both offer attractive dividends along with inflation-powered earnings upside.

Breaking News: $WPC 3 Top Dividend Stocks for a Better Retirement

Retiring changes a lot of things, including the way you invest. You switch from building a nest egg to living off of the egg you've amassed. One of the best ways to do that is with reliable dividend stocks like W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) , 3M (NYSE: MMM) , and The Southern Com...

Got this from WPC - 3 Top Dividend Stocks for a Better Retirement

Thanks OAG, I see its had quite a spurt lately. Last summer I considered adding a few top quality REITs but never bought one. Spent an evening back then researching WPC.

WPC has risen nearly 17% from the start of the new year. That helps overall as total return with the dividend is top notch. I consider REITs to be good inflation hedges, too.

Any new thoughts on WPC? I'm looking for a no-gimmick REIT or two to add some non-correlation to my portfolio. I like WPC's long history of sustainable div increases and its durability during the 2008-2009 Great Recession when so many Regulated Investment Companies failed.

This newer histogram shows EWRE, NRO and VNQ along with WPC:



Similar patterns, different amplitudes..........

It would appear that the REITs are starting to break their long bottoming cycle.



It's been a long time since the Williams %R value was above -20. We've just crossed through the 130 Day Moving Average with today's up-tick. Other REITs and REIT ETFs are also moving upward, but others have yet to breach their own eMA's.

There might be some lights on in the Buildings after all:



While not quite back to its 26 week Moving Average, it has started to reverse the flat trend started in February. Two others I follow (VNQ and NRO) are still range bound.

I was able to add 12% to my position in WPC at $59.46 the other day. Yield at that price was around 6.5%.

Another REIT I own is NRO. On Monday I was able to add 12% to that position, too. Even my REIT ETF, VNQ, has been signaling for a buy. I guess this suggests REITs are out of favor for now.

Value Line shows their 1700 stock universe to have a yield of around 1.9% right now (of all stocks paying a dividend). S&P500 yield isn't much better. I don't care if income providers are over-sold and growth stocks are over-bought. I'll put my $$$ where the income is appropriately distributed because I need income. My motto is "Buy from the Scared, Sell to the Greedy."

Something that isn't discussed much about REITs is that there is a secondary benefit of ownership as an inflation hedge. Yes, interest rates are rising, but with the 20 Year Treasury paying 2.88% currently, it doesn't compete with WPC. Plus, those treasuries don't respond to inflation. So, I'm content to add to my position at times like this.

Hi Mike, Re: Ownership of WPC shares..............

I've owned WPC off and on for a couple of decades. Great yield, helps with inflation protection and seems to be a very well managed company.



I own REITs as part of an income portfolio. WPC fits well.
