HCP, Inc. (HCP), Stag Industrial Inc (STAG): REITs For Your Sell Off Wish List

The company’s shares, which recently yielded around 5%, already trade at a yield discount to its larger competitors. However, in an indiscriminate sell off, it might be possible to pick the shares up at an 8% yield. That would be a bargain for this newcomer with solid long-term prospects.

Don’t Rush

It’s virtually impossible to figure out where the market is headed. However, when a sector starts to turn south, it can present opportunities for patient long-term investors. Each of the three companies above are good names. HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP) and Realty have proven themselves over decades and could be the cornerstone of a REIT portfolio. Stag Industrial Inc (NYSE:STAG), meanwhile, presents a nice mixture of income and growth potential.
