The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry constituents are poised to gain from the increased adoption of outsourced real estate services and emerging trends. The easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit and drive economic growth, in turn fueling transaction activity. Companies like Newmark Group, Inc. NMRK, Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. KW and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. RMAX are set to benefit from these positive trends.

However, the industry faces challenges such as macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Customers remain focused on cost controls and for certain asset categories are delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing.

About the Industry

The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry comprises companies that provide leasing, property management, investment management, valuation, development services, facility management, project management, transaction and consulting services, among others. However, real estate investment trusts or REITs are excluded from this group. Economic trends and government policies impact the real estate market (global and regional), which determines the industry’s performance. Economic activity, employment growth, office-based employment, interest-rate levels, costs and availability of credit, tax and regulatory policies, and the geopolitical environment are the major factors shaping the real estate market’s fate. Also, pandemic-induced public health challenges and geopolitical issues have affected property sales and the leasing lines of businesses.

What’s Shaping the Real Estate Operations Industry’s Future?

Interest Rate Cut Provides Relief for Transaction-Based Business: The latest cut in the interest rates by the Federal Reserve and anticipations of future reductions are expected to drive transaction-based businesses in the United States. Along with the United States, the easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit, and drive economic growth. This is expected to help investors in better price discovery and consequently result in reduced transaction completion times. It is also expected to lead to a rise in the average deal size, thereby bolstering the industry’s near-term revenue prospects.

Outsourcing of Real Estate Needs to Remain Strong: Real estate occupiers, including corporations, public sector entities, healthcare providers, and those in finance, industry, life sciences and technology, are increasingly preferring to outsource their real estate needs. They are entrusting third-party real estate experts to enhance execution and efficiency. Organizations are seeking strategic advice to reimagine their workplaces and workstyles to foster culture, attract talent and improve performance. These developments are creating opportunities for participants in the real estate operations industry. Major players in the industry are leveraging this transition, securing new clients and expanding relationships with existing ones. Also, companies in this industry continue to prioritize investments in technology as it consistently improves efficiency, delivers client services and supports market share growth.

Certain Real Estate Categories’ Demand Hurt: The pandemic has significantly reshaped the use of commercial real estate. Also, economic uncertainty continues to affect real estate sales and leasing activities. While companies are promoting the return to office, this transition is gradual, which is hindering tenants’ confidence in long-term commitments. As such, pre-pandemic office occupancy levels are likely to remain elusive in the near or intermediate term. Amid a volatile environment and geopolitical issues, customers remain focused on cost controls and delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing. As such, industrial real estate demand remains subdued and this trend is expected to continue in the near term. Additionally, the pace of business-related travel and in-person interactions has not fully rebounded to pre-pandemic norms.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Prospects

The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry is housed within the broader Zacks Finance sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #104, which places it in the top 42% of more than 250 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates robust near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.

The industry’s positioning in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of the upward earnings per share outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate.

Dividend investing hardly loses its allure but gains more attention when the Fed cuts interest rates. A recent report from Sterling Capital showed that dividend stocks outperform non-dividend stocks after the first rate cut. The report also said that dividend growers perform better than high-yield stocks in this environment.

But for those looking to buy and hold dividend stocks for decades, these short-term trends might not matter. What matters for such investors is to pick reliable and safe dividend stocks and keep adding to them to reach their financial goals.

Don’t Miss:

About six months ago, a Redditor shared his detailed dividend income report on r/Dividends – a community of about 600,000 members on Reddit. The investor, who said he’s 53 years old, was making just over $48,000 in annual dividend income, according to the portfolio screenshots he shared publicly. The total value of his portfolio was about $1.23 million.

The investor said he was “getting ready” to retire. Asked what he did for a living, here was his response:

“Retired military (enlisted). Wife works in tech and will be retiring this year because she gets annoyed I’m going fishing while she works.”

He said he started investing when he was 26 (talk about long-term goals!).

“Lost the bulk of our money three separate times ($20k, $25k and $90k) before changing my investment strategy. Once I stopped chasing high flyers and went for the long-term plan I started making money. When I was young, I kept trying to get a jump on our retirement savings and it kept burning me. Slow and steady really does work.”

There were about 23 ETFs and stocks in the portfolio. Let’s look at some of the biggest holdings in the portfolio.

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF 

About 33% of the portfolio of the Redditor making $48,000 per year was allocated to Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:SCHD). According to the portfolio details, he made approximately $13,480 in annual income from the fund. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:SCHD) tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index and exposes you to some of the top dividend stocks trading in the U.S., including Home Depot, Coca-Cola, Verizon, Lockheed Martin, Pepsi and AbbVie, among many others. Since SCHD’s holdings are mostly conservative dividend payers, it’s suitable for investors close to retirement looking for consistent dividend income.

Everyday investors looking for ultra-high-yield dividend stocks have limited options to choose from. Dividend yields drop as prices rise, and the market has been soaring over the past few years.

The benchmark S&P 500 index has risen by 51% since the end of 2022. In such a buoyant market, finding top dividend payers that offer high yields is a challenge, but it isn’t impossible.

Ares Capital (NASDAQ: ARCC) and PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (NYSE: PFLT) are a pair of well-manged business development companies (BDCs) that offer eye-popping dividend yields. Here’s why income-seeking investors want to add them to a diversified portfolio now and hold them for the long run.

Ares Capital

The first ultra-high-yield dividend stock investors want to load up on is Ares Capital. At recent prices, it offers a huge 9% yield.

Ares Capital is the world’s largest publicly traded BDC. These specialized entities are generally popular among income-seeking investors because they can legally avoid paying income taxes by distributing nearly all their earnings to shareholders as dividend payments.

The BDC industry is a lucrative one because U.S. banks have been increasingly hesitant to lend to businesses directly for decades. All over America, companies starved for capital are willing to pay higher interest rates than you might imagine. The average yield on debt securities in Ares Capital’s portfolio was 12.2% in the second quarter.

The folks who run Ares Capital’s investment committee have 30 years of experience on average and it shows. The BDC’s portfolio grew to $25 billion at the end of June with loans out to 525 different companies. Just 1.5% of the portfolio, at cost, was on nonaccrual status.

Investing in any one midsize business or industry can be dangerous, but Ares Capital’s portfolio is well diversified. Its largest components are in the software, software services, and healthcare services industries. These industries represent just 37% of the overall portfolio.

Lots of diversification and a terrific track record support an investment-grade credit rating that makes it easier to turn a profit in good times and bad. This July, Ares Capital’s excellent credit rating allowed it to raise $850 million by offering five-year notes with a 5.95% coupon. That’s less than half the yield it receives from the debt securities in its portfolio.

This dividend payer isn’t risk-free, but it would take a prolonged recession that forces a wave of defaults across not just one but several of the economy’s more reliable industries before investors need to worry about a severe dividend cut.

Story continues

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital is another BDC that gives investors an ultra-high dividend yield to consider. At recent prices, it offers a 10.5% yield and monthly payments.

Other BDCs like Ares Capital compete over up-market businesses, but PennantPark gets the pick of the litter when it comes to smaller companies that earn between $10 million and $50 million annually.

As its name implies, practically all of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital’s debt investments collect interest at variable rates. Nearly all of its loans are of the first-lien senior secured variety too. These loans are first in line to be repaid in the event of bankruptcy.

With 26 years of industry experience, PennantPark’s underwriting team is nearly as experienced as Ares Capital’s. With a brief exception in 2018, it’s raised or maintained its dividend payout since its initial public offering in 2011.

Investors can reasonably expect continued stability from PennantPark in the decade ahead. Just three companies representing 1.5% of its overall portfolio at cost were on nonaccrual status at the end of June.

This BDC is most exposed to the professional services, aerospace, and defense industries. The portfolio is so diversified that these industries represent just 15.4% of the total.

While smaller, PennantPark’s portfolio is arguably even more diverse than Ares Capital’s portfolio. Buying some shares now to lock in a dividend yield at a double-digit percentage looks like a great idea for just about any income-seeking investor.

The solution is perfectly positioned to enable service providers to increase customer satisfaction and drive operational efficiencies.

“We are constantly looking for ways to bring the latest tools to ISPs and Broadband Service Providers,” said Vijay Ahire, Co-founder & CTO of Synnefo. “Synnefo OSS and BSS are already deployed with over 350 service providers—this move presents opportunities to upgrade existing customers and target new markets in India, Africa and the Middle East, which is saturated with mid-size service providers looking for a cost-effective solution.”

Serving both residential and business subscribers, Aprecomm’s CX suite helps broadband service providers transform their approaches to connectivity, ensuring that consumers can enjoy online experiences without wasting time managing their WiFi networks. By using sophisticated artificial intelligence—including a unique quality of experience algorithm—Aprecomm is paving the way to intuitive zero-touch networks by taking a self-optimizing and self-healing approach to managed WiFi, tuning the network to the unique needs of each user and the application they are using.

The combined solution will be demonstrated at Syneffo’s booth D4 at SCAT2024 in Mumbai from October 17^th to 19^th.

PARIS, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EKINOPS (Euronext Paris – FR0011466069 – EKI), a leading supplier of telecommunications solutions for telecom operators and enterprises, reports its Q3 2024 consolidated revenue (July 1 to September 30, 2024).

Q3 2024 revenue up +9% to €30.4m

In Q3 2024, Ekinops reported revenue of 30.4 m€, up +9% year-on-year and up +4% sequentially relative to Q2 2024. Ekinops thus returns to growth, posting its highest level of revenue since Q2 2023.

At constant exchange rates, Q3 2024 revenue increased by +10%.

For the first nine months of 2024, consolidated revenue was 87.9 m€, down -11% compared to the same period last year (identical at constant exchange rates).

Access up +8%, Optical Transport down -34% over nine months

Sales for Access solutions were up +8% over the period, driven by the significant rebound in business in France since the start of the year (+27% over nine months) with operators gradually rebuilding their equipment inventories.

Nine-month sales of Optical Transport solutions were down -34% year-on-year. In addition to an unfavorable basis for comparison (+23% over nine months in 2023), operators are still reluctant to start making investments in a context of overcapacity with a slowdown in internet traffic growth. However, Optical Transport sales grew +16% on a sequential basis compared to Q2 2024.

As of end-September 2024, Software & Services’ revenue represented 16% of the Group’s total revenue (vs. 15% a year earlier) with an increasing share of recurring revenue, particularly in Services.

+18% activity growth in France, -26% internationally

The first nine months of the year were characterized by Ekinops’ strong performance in France, with robust growth of +18% over the period, propelled by the rebound in sales of Access solutions, the company’s main business line in its home market. Over the period, the Group reported 45% of its total business volume in this region, versus 34% a year earlier.

Outside France, Ekinops saw a decline in its activities, which now account for 55% of its total revenue (vs. 66% a year earlier).

In North America, where sales are almost exclusively generated by Optical Transport solutions, the Group posted business volumes of 17.8 m€, down -29% versus the same period last year (-28% in US dollars), which represents a high comparison base (+18% growth at end-September 2023). The US market remains marked by a significant wait-and-see attitude adopted by service providers, linked to the slow deployment of the 42 billion dollars federal BEAD program (Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment), aimed at reducing the digital divide in the United States. Ekinops generated 20% of its revenue in this market in the first nine months of 2024 (vs. 26% one year prior).

The EMEA region (Europe, excluding France, the Middle East and Africa), representing 33% of Ekinops’ revenue (vs. 39% a year earlier), recorded a -23% decline in business over the period, mainly penalized by a significant decrease in sales of Optical Transport solutions, on the back of a +17% increase over the same period last year. However, it should be noted that on a sequential basis, Ekinops saw a return to growth in this region during Q3 2024 (+9%).

As of end-September 2024, revenue for Asia-Pacific, which remains reliant on just a few key accounts, was down -31%. Over nine months, the region accounted for 2% of Ekinops’ total revenue (identical to the prior year).

Outlook

In Q3 2024, Ekinops reported an improved level of revenue versus previous quarters, slightly over 30 m€, particularly thanks to Access inventory easing at operator-customers in France and EMEA, as well as the very first deliveries of the new 800G product for Optical Transport.

However, the market environment is still difficult, with operators across all regions notably cautious about their investment plans.

One of the company’s objectives for 2024 – to achieve quarter-on-quarter growth – has been fulfilled, as the company added approximately 1 m€ in revenue in each quarter between Q1 and Q3.
