Deep dives
Global Real Estate Performance
Germany's residential market saw significant growth, while Hong Kong faced deflationary pressures leading to lower property values. Office sectors in Europe and Asia had better performance compared to North America due to cultural factors and higher demand. The US office market underperformed due to consolidation of telecom companies. However, logistics and industrial sectors in Europe saw strong demand and limited supply, making them attractive investment opportunities.
American Tower Corporation
Despite a tough couple of years, American Tower is expected to see positive growth in 2024. The rollout of 5G network spending and a reversal in interest rates will drive the stock's performance. The convergence between cell towers and data centers, particularly in edge computing, offers additional growth potential for American Tower.
Chartwell Senior Residences
Chartwell faced challenges due to COVID-19, including reduced move-ins, staffing issues, and increased expenses. However, the demand for senior housing is expected to rebound as COVID measures ease. With limited supply and increased demand for near-shoring and Asian suppliers setting up shop in Europe, Chartwell is well positioned for higher occupancy and rent growth.
Montea and CTP: European Logistics
Europe's industrial logistics sector is experiencing strong demand with limited supply. Near-shoring and Asian suppliers setting up shop in Europe are increasing demand for logistics space. Montea and CTP have the right assets and efficiencies to capitalize on this demand. The convergence of cell towers and data centers through edge computing presents additional growth opportunities.
Home Depot
Home Depot's upcoming earnings report is of interest due to its position as a leading home improvement retailer. Last quarter's results were not impressive, but the stock has performed well since then. Paying attention to their comments on inflation and the impact on sales will be important, as well as any guidance on future growth and performance.
Fresenius
Fresenius is a German dialysis company that is expected to be affected by the development of GLP agonists such as Olympias and Wagovis. The outcome in the dialysis industry will be interesting to watch, particularly as Fresenius plays a significant role in this sector.
