Now that Donald Trump has been elected president, the market seems to have shaken off the post-election jitters. In fact, as I write this at noon on the day after the election, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has reversed course and is up about 200 points. Not all stocks are rallying, however, and many REITs are taking a beating. Here are two great REITs for the long term that are worth a look while they're on sale.
After recently completing the spinoff of its skilled-nursing and post-acute-care facilities, healthcare REIT HCP (NYSE:HCP) is now left with a portfolio of high-quality, private-pay healthcare properties and can focus on delivering consistent returns for shareholders. Leading net-lease retail REIT Realty Income (NYSE:O) is down more than 21% from its peak in July, including a drop of nearly 5% the day after the election. While Realty Income is admittedly not the cheapest REIT from a valuation perspective, there are several reasons why it's one of my biggest stock holdings. It's important to point out that HCP and Realty Income have delivered strong returns to investors for decades, including during high-growth and low-growth periods, under Democratic and Republican presidents, and in all sorts of economic climates.
