REIT Markets Finding It's "Mojo" in Second Quarter After Historic First Quarter Selloffs


Globest.com is reporting that REIT equity shares increased 11.1% in the second quarter of 2018 after suffering historic selloffs in the first quarter that lent to a 10% decline in value for the period.  The report also indicates that shares increased another 3.6% in August as the sector is finding it's "mojo" according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA).  The report covered 116 REITs that placed unsecured debt, including 66 REITs that issued notes in the public market, 28 REITs that issued unsecured notes but only via private placements and 22 REITs that borrowed via unsecured term loans but not unsecured notes.

According to KBRA  debt-to-market leverage for the REIT sector reached record lows by mid-year 2018, declining to a median of 30.2% for public and private note issuers. REITS have recovered all of their first quarter losses and are now high year-to-date as compared to the same period year over year.  Retail department stores as well as malls and shopping centers rebounded for the quarter.  Retail department stores are considered one of the strongest equity market groups.

Overall KBRA is confident in the overall REIT market stating “If REITS aren’t in the sweet spot for capital raising and allocation, they’re not far from it. Favorable borrowing costs and more agreeable equity valuations have become aligned with robust demand for properties and the backdrop of consistent economic and employment growth. The menu of REIT capital raising options has rarely, if ever, been broader.”


Other findings from the report according to the Globest.com article are the following:
  • Alignment of shareholder and creditor interests is evident in the REIT sector, where lower-leverage REITs have substantially outperformed in the equity market, engendering a greater willingness to raise equity, expand portfolios and enhance diversification.
  •  Lower borrowing costs for REIT unsecured debt than mortgage loans further align shareholder and bondholder interests, with unsecured borrowers prompted to avoid and retire mortgage debt.
