This Month's Bonus News Three Oversold REITs With Strong FundamentalsReported by Dan Schmidt. Date Posted: 3/30/2026. 
Key Points - Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are often popular investments during turbulent times because they return so much capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.
- In the AI-powered surge over the last few years, REITs have become a forgotten asset class and have lagged the market.
- Now that volatility has returned, REITs could be an attractive investment, including these three with fundamental tailwinds.

There was a time when the biggest worry in markets was commercial real estate (CRE), especially for companies that own offices and workplaces where many staff now work from home. You likely won't find CRE concerns leading the financial headlines anymore, but that's not necessarily because conditions have improved—there's still a lot happening. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have been dragged down with the broader market over the last month, and commercial assets continue to worry investors. However, a few REITs are flashing Oversold on certain technical indicators, and we've identified three that also have fundamental tailwinds. Why REITs Could Be Primed for Strong Growth in 2026 REITs have been one of the more lackluster asset classes over the last five years, with virtually no price appreciation beyond dividends. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEARCA: VNQ), one of the largest broad-based REIT ETFs with more than $33 billion in assets, has lost 5.5% over the past five years, much of that in the last month (down 8%). Until the outbreak of war in the Middle East, REIT investors were just barely above water, and dividends were the primary source of return. Still, there are reasons to be constructive on REITs in 2026. Many names have reached deeply Oversold levels, which technical traders will be watching for a rebound. And despite an interest-rate environment that remains biased toward higher for longer, 2026 is expected to be a favorable year for the sector. JPMorgan Research projects overall growth of 6% in the crucial Funds From Operations (FFO) metric for the sector in 2026. FFO measures a fund's cash flow by adding amortization and depreciation to net income and then subtracting gains from non-recurring property sales. It provides a more accurate picture of operating cash flow than net income alone and helps gauge the sustainability of dividends. REITs tend to be a conservative investment sector, so sustainable dividend growth is often more important than share-price appreciation. These 3 REITs Have Strong Fundamentals and Flashing Oversold Signals When looking for oversold stocks, it's important to use multiple technical indicators to confirm signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular choice due to its simple heuristics and reliability, but it should never be used in isolation. For these three stocks we pair the RSI with other tools, such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. Simon Property Group: Stabilized By Affluent Clientele Base Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE: SPG), once known as the mall REIT, has repositioned itself as a "destination" operator for affluent customers. While many traditional malls faded, SPG focused on high-end centers and acquired prime retail properties for luxury brands. This approach is producing results: in Q4 2025, management reported record annual FFO of $4.8 billion ($12.73 per share) and guided 2026 FFO to $13.00–$13.25 per share. The company also announced a $2 billion share repurchase (nearly 3% of market cap), with portfolio occupancy above 96% and a 15% year-over-year (YOY) increase in its leasing pipeline.  Simon's fundamentals show little sign of distress; the stock's recent weakness likely reflects the broader market retreat rather than company-specific problems. Shares found support at the 200-day moving average just as the RSI reached Oversold. If the stock holds above the 200-day MA, this may be an attractive entry point. Rexford Industrial Realty: Opportunities in California Industrial Zones Southern California contains the largest infill industrial market, with more than 1.8 billion square feet, but zoning and regulations often restrict supply and create high barriers to entry. That dynamic drives up rental rates, benefiting incumbent owners like Rexford Industrial Realty Inc. (NYSE: REXR), which owns more than 400 properties in the region. The stock has been a long-term laggard over the past five years, but Rexford is undergoing a transition: former COO Laura Clark has been named CEO, and the company has authorized $500 million in new share buybacks.  The company has a catalyst coming on April 15, when it reports Q1 2026 earnings, which could help halt the stock's slide. Shares are down about 16% YTD, including a 14% drop in the last month alone. The stock is approaching its April 2025 lows, and the RSI and MACD suggest downward momentum is slowing. A bullish MACD crossover ahead of earnings would be an encouraging signal of a potential momentum shift. Vornado Realty Trust: Contrarian Play on New York Real Estate An investment in Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) isn't for the faint of heart. New York CRE was hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic and has struggled to fully recover. But Vornado's management reported an industry-leading 4.6 million square feet of Manhattan leasing in 2025, with strong momentum in its PENN 1 and PENN 2 districts. Management also disclosed acquisitions of high-end properties on Fifth Avenue and East 54th Street during its Q4 2025 results. It guided 2026 FFO to be roughly in line with 2025, a conservative projection that leaves room for upside.  VNO shares display a chart pattern similar to REXR, with signs a rebound may be beginning. The RSI has stayed in Oversold territory for much of the past two months, near spring 2025 lows. Importantly, the MACD has crossed above its signal line, indicating selling momentum may be easing and buyers could be returning. |
