Core Viewpoint - Morgan Stanley has made significant adjustments to the ratings of nine popular investment targets in the REITs and real estate services sector for 2026, with seven downgrades and two upgrades, reflecting a more stratified rating distribution as the probability of a soft landing for the U.S. economy increases and the Fed's rate-cutting cycle is expected to continue [1][2]. Group 1: Downgraded Companies - Realty Income (O.US) rating downgraded from "Neutral" to "Underweight" due to its large scale making it difficult to achieve above-average profit growth compared to its net lease REIT peers [3]. - Public Storage (PSA.US) rating downgraded from "Overweight" to "Neutral" as improvements in core growth rates are expected to take longer and not follow a straight line [3]. - Welltower (WELL.US) rating downgraded from "Overweight" to "Neutral" based on a short-term stock price judgment rather than any deterioration in growth prospects [3]. - Regency Centers (REG.US) rating downgraded from "Overweight" to "Neutral," which is also a temporary stock trend judgment, as REG is still considered to have one of the best platforms in the REIT sector with optimistic long-term growth prospects [3]. - Kennedy Wilson (KW.US) rating downgraded from "Neutral" to "Underweight" due to limited upside potential from a pending privatization offer [4]. - UDR (UDR.US) rating downgraded from "Neutral" to "Underweight" [4]. - SmartStop (SMA.US) rating adjusted from "Overweight" to "Neutral" [4]. Group 2: Upgraded Companies - Federal Realty Investment Trust (FRT.US) rating upgraded from "Neutral" to "Overweight" as the company effectively recycles capital from mature assets into higher-quality retail assets, improving growth visibility for 2026 [5]. - Camden Property Trust (CPT.US) rating upgraded from "Underweight" to "Neutral" due to a stronger balance sheet providing greater flexibility for buybacks and development, significantly improving relative risk-reward compared to UDR [5].
