Rate Shock: REITs enter earnings season on their back foot amid a renewed surge in long-term rates, facing a materially different cost-of-capital and financing environment than just three months ago.

REITs have evolved into a larger, more diversified, and better-capitalized asset class, now less sensitive to Treasury yields than in prior cycles. Modern REITs feature lower leverage (34.4% debt), predominantly fixed-rate, long-maturity debt, and strong liquidity, supporting resilience amid higher rates.
