5. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NASDAQ:PAA)

Dividend Yield as of March 18: 7.74%

On March 18, Morgan Stanley analyst Robert Kad raised the price recommendation on Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NASDAQ:PAA) to $23 from $21. It reiterated an Equal Weight rating. The update came as part of the firm’s regular review of North American midstream and renewable energy infrastructure names.

On the Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO Willie Chiang described 2025 as a turning point. He said the company worked through geopolitical tensions, OPEC supply changes, and tariff uncertainty while reshaping itself into more of a pure-play crude operator. A big part of that shift came from selling the NGL business and acquiring the Epic pipeline, now called Cactus III. Chiang said these moves should lead to better cash flow quality, stronger distributable cash flow, and a more stable position across cycles.

Looking ahead, he laid out three priorities for 2026. The company plans to complete the NGL divestiture, integrate Cactus III and capture synergies, and keep pushing on cost efficiency. The target is about $100 million in annual savings by 2027, with roughly half of that expected in 2026. He also pointed to a few recent transactions. The company sold its Mid-Continent lease marketing business for about $50 million and acquired the Wild Horse terminal, which is expected to add around 4 million barrels of storage. Both moves are aimed at shifting toward higher-margin operations.

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NASDAQ:PAA) owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and provides logistics services for crude oil and natural gas liquids. Its network includes pipelines, storage, processing, and other assets across key producing regions and major market hubs in the United States and Canada.

Dividend Yield as of March 18: 9.22%

On March 17, Keefe Bruyette lowered its price recommendation on Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE:LADR) to $11.50 from $12. It reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm reduced its 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates, pointing to the timing of new originations and slightly lower loan yields. Even so, it expects earnings to improve sequentially, which could support dividend increases in the second half of 2026 and into 2027.

On February 23, the company said it had secured $675 million in new unsecured capital commitments. This includes a $400 million expansion of its unsecured revolving credit facility, bringing total capacity to $1.25 billion, along with a new unsecured delayed draw term loan facility of up to $275 million. The increase in the revolving credit facility fully uses the “accordion” feature tied to that facility. The amended credit agreement also allows for additional term loan issuances of up to $500 million under a separate “accordion” feature.

The expanded revolving credit facility gives the company same-day access to capital at a cost of 125 basis points over SOFR. The $275 million delayed draw term loan is priced at 140 basis points over SOFR, with a fully extended maturity of February 20, 2030. It also includes pricing step-downs tied to credit rating upgrades and a draw period through February 20, 2027.

Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE:LADR) operates as an internally managed commercial real estate investment trust. Its business is organized across loans, securities, and real estate segments.

On March 16, Xanadu Quantum Technologies and TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU) announced plans to work together on building sovereign quantum computing infrastructure in Canada. The two companies also plan to explore the development of a quantum data centre integrated with TELUS’ secure, Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

Under a newly signed MOU, the companies will look at how quantum processors can be combined with high-performance computing systems. The goal is to create a sovereign hybrid quantum–classical computing setup in Canada, one of the first of its kind. The collaboration brings together Xanadu’s work in photonic quantum computing with TELUS’ experience in AI, data centre operations, and its nationwide PureFibre network. The aim is to give Canadian businesses, researchers, and government organizations secure access to next-generation computing tools. These systems are expected to support advances in areas such as AI, drug discovery, materials science, cybersecurity, and national security, while keeping sensitive data within Canada.

Quantum computing is still developing, but it is already seen as a major shift in technology. Many in the field view hybrid systems, where quantum and classical computing work together, as a practical way to scale these capabilities.

2. Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE:CHCT)

Dividend Yield as of March 18: 11.63%

On March 10, Truist lowered its price recommendation on Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE:CHCT) to $19 from $20 and kept a Buy rating on the shares. The firm said it expects moderate earnings growth going forward. At the same time, it noted that leverage has been trending higher and that the REIT would benefit from a lower cost of equity.

During the Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO David Dupuy said a geriatric behavioral hospital operator, which leases six of the company’s properties, paid $200K in rent during the quarter. The operator is now in exclusive talks to sell its business to another behavioral healthcare provider. Dupuy said the company remains in contact with the potential buyer, who is still in due diligence. He added that there is no clear timeline and no certainty that the deal will close. He also pointed to some operational progress. Occupancy moved up from 90.1% to 90.6% during the quarter. Leasing activity stayed active, with both renewals and new agreements. The weighted average lease term increased from 6.7 years to 7 years.

Dupuy highlighted a capital recycling move as well. The company sold an inpatient rehab facility at a 7.9% cap rate, generating an $11.5 million gain. It then reinvested the proceeds into a new facility for $28.5 million, with an expected annual return of 9.3%. He said this transaction also reduced exposure to the company’s largest tenant, which helps improve portfolio diversification.

Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE:CHCT) is a real estate investment trust focused on owning income-producing properties tied to outpatient healthcare services across its target markets in the United States.
