Demand for 5G internet speeds and for places to mount 5G hardware should continue, the analysts say:
AMT is a major beneficiary of 5G rollout. Meanwhile, the recent CoreSite acquisition is less dilutive than expected and gives exposure to data centers segment, improving international churn dynamics and defensive cash flows, in a market of increasing uncertainty/volatility. There also remains potential upside from acquisitions (e.g. New Zealand).

Credit Suisse likes the location of this apartment REIT in the U.S. sunbelt:
Exposure to the attractive combination of Sunbelt markets and workforce housing, combined with a highly profitable remodeling pipeline, suggests NXRT continues to lead the sector in regards to SS NOI [same store net operating income] as well as FFO/sh [funds from operation per share] growth.
SS NOI was up 16.4% year over year in the March quarter and FFO/sh rose from $0.55 to $0.74 per diluted share year over year.

Years of portfolio repositioning should continue to bear fruit in the form of attractive mark to market on both new and renewal leasing, with [the added benefit of] potential upside from [new leases to small shop owners].
