10 Inflation-Busting Big-Dividend REITs Can Thrive as Interest Rates Shoot Higher

The company, together with its joint venture, currently owns a portfolio of properties, consisting of 12 premier destination resorts in Las Vegas and elsewhere across the United States; MGM Northfield Park in Northfield, Ohio; Empire Resort Casino in Yonkers, New York; as well as a retail and entertainment district, The Park, in Las Vegas.

The destination resorts collectively comprised approximately 27,400 hotel rooms, 1.4 million casino square footage, and 2.7 million convention square footage. As a growth-oriented public real estate entity, the company expects its relationship with MGM Resorts and other entertainment providers to position the company attractively for the acquisition of additional properties across the entertainment, hospitality and leisure industries.

Shareholders receive a 5.09% dividend. The $43 Deutsche Bank price target is higher than the $41.64 consensus target. MGM Growth Properties stock closed at $40.80 on Tuesday.

Postal Realty Trust

This is among the safest bets of all for investors. Postal Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: PSTL) is an internally managed REIT that owns and manages over 1,400 properties leased primarily to the U.S. Postal Service, ranging from last-mile post offices to larger industrial facilities. The company believes it is one of the largest owners and managers of properties leased to the USPS.

Despite the problems the postal service has had over the years, the bottom line for investors is that being government owned guarantees timely payment of rent, the offices do not move and Postal Realty Trust is not required to keep onsite management at the various facilities.

Shareholders receive a 5.58% distribution. Aegis has set a $23 price target, and the consensus target is $21.13. The stock closed on Tuesday at $16.49.

It is a top real estate member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index.

Investors are paid a very solid 4.38% distribution. The Realty Income stock price target at Goldman Sachs is $87. The $77.63 consensus target is closer to the $67.67 per share close on Tuesday.
