- Lamar Advertising Stock Gains 20.3% in 3 Months: Will the Trend Last?
May 11, 2026
Lamar Advertising LAMR shares have risen 20.3% in the past three months compared with the industry’s growth of 2.8%.
Lamar holds a significant market share in the U.S. outdoor advertising business. Its diversified tenant base, opportunistic acquisitions and efforts to upgrade its portfolio are key growth drivers.
Analysts seem optimistic about this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2026 FFO per share has moved marginally northward over the past week to $8.63. It also suggests an increase of 4.5% from year over year.Zacks Investment Research

Factors Behind LAMR Stock Price Rise: Will This Continue?
Lamar is among the largest owners and operators of outdoor advertising structures in the United States, with a broad nationwide presence. The company holds a leading position in logo signs and benefits from a well-diversified advertiser base across services, healthcare, restaurants, retail, automotive, insurance and gaming. A significant portion of Lamar’s revenue is generated from local and regional businesses, which further diversifies its tenant mix and helps reduce revenue volatility.
The company's increased focus on bolstering its digital capabilities augurs well for long-term growth. Particularly, the growing digital platform allows Lamar to tap into expanding programmatic advertising channels. The company has added a large number of digital screens through acquisitions and internal conversions over the past several years. In the first quarter of 2026, Lamar completed multiple acquisitions for a total cash purchase price of approximately $58.6 million. It offers customers one of the largest networks of digital billboards in the United States, with more than 5,600 displays as of the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Out of Home (OOH) advertising has been growing at a rapid pace and continues to increase its market share in comparison with other forms of media. Moreover, fragmentation across other advertising media and technological advancements in the OOH segment are aiding the shift to outdoor advertising. In the upcoming years, higher technology investments are expected to provide further support to OOH advertising. Therefore, the company’s expansion activities over the recent years bode well for long-term growth.
Lamar operates in an industry that is characterized by high barriers to entry due to permitting restrictions. Moreover, as there is a control on the permits, inventory, as well as an intrusion from other market players, both local and national, are restricted. Hence, this provides the company with a solid competitive edge.
Story Continues
Solid dividend payouts remain the biggest attraction for REIT investors, and Lamar has been committed to the same. In the last five years, the company has raised its dividend eight times. Its five-year annualized dividend growth rate is 12.97%, which is encouraging. Management expects to generate cash flows from operations during 2026 in excess of its cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and dividends. Such efforts raise investors’ optimism about the stock.
Key Risks for Lamar Advertising
The uncertain macroeconomic situation and competition from other outdoor advertisers and other forms of media are major concerns for Lamar. High debt burden acts as a deterrent for the company.
Other Stocks to Consider
Some other top-ranked stocks from the broader REIT sector are American Tower AMT and Prologis Inc. PLD, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMT’s 2026 FFO per share is pegged at $10.95. This implies year-over-year growth of 3.5%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PLD’s 2026 FFO per share is pinned at $6.17. This calls for year-over-year growth of 6.2%.

- GQRE vs. HAUZ: A Quality-Screened Global Real Estate Fund Against a Pure International Play
May 10, 2026
Investors choosing between FlexShares Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund(NYSEMKT:GQRE) and Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF(NYSEMKT:HAUZ) must decide if they want global exposure or a pure-play international diversifier.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) provide income and inflation protection. While both funds target the property sector, they differ fundamentally in geographic scope. HAUZ focuses on markets outside the United States, whereas GQRE includes domestic holdings alongside international developers. This comparison hinges on whether an investor wants global or purely international exposure.
Snapshot (cost & size)
Metric HAUZ GQRE Issuer Xtrackers FlexShares Expense ratio 0.10% 0.45% 1-yr return (as of May 8, 2026) 16.36% 16.96% Dividend yield 4.30% 4.20% Beta 0.76 0.93 AUM $1.1 billion $399.1 million
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield.
The Xtrackers fund is the more affordable option with its 0.10% expense ratio. While the FlexShares fund offers higher 1-year returns, it carries a 4.20% yield, sitting just below the 4.30% payout of HAUZ. Investors should weigh these fees against the broader geographic reach provided by GQRE.
Performance & risk comparison
Metric HAUZ GQRE Max drawdown (5 yr) (34.50%) (35.10%) Growth of $1,000 over 5 years (total return) $1,008 $1,171
What's inside
FlexShares Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund focuses on global property markets through the Northern Trust Global Quality Real Estate Index. With 178 holdings, its largest positions include American Tower(NYSE:AMT) at 6.00%, Prologis(NYSE:PLD) at 4.31%, and Welltower(NYSE:WELL) at 4.01%. This fund launched in 2013 and has a trailing-12-month dividend of $2.75 per share.
Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF tracks an index of developed and emerging markets excluding the United States, and holds 411 positions. Its largest holdings include Goodman Group at 4.42%, Mitsubishi Estate at 3.42%, and Mitsui Fudosan at 2.99%. Also launched in 2013, HAUZ has a trailing-12-month dividend of $1.04 per share.
For more guidance on ETF investing, check out the full guide at this link.
What this means for investors
Real estate has staged a meaningful comeback in early 2026 as interest rate pressure eases and investors rotate back into income-generating assets. Both GQRE and HAUZ offer exposure to that recovery, but through very different lenses.
Story Continues
GQRE is a global fund spanning U.S. and international real estate, but with a distinctive twist. Rather than simply tracking a market-cap index, it screens holdings for quality, value, and momentum, selecting companies with strong profitability, sound management, and healthy cash flow. That active-leaning methodology gives it a higher yield than most passive real estate funds, but also a significantly higher fee.
HAUZ takes the opposite approach. It’s purely passive, purely international, excluding U.S. properties entirely. It holds more than 400 real estate securities across Japan, Australia, and Europe at a fraction of GQRE's cost.
For investors who already hold U.S. real estate exposure, HAUZ is the cleaner, more cost-efficient international diversifier. GQRE suits those who want a single global real estate fund with a quality filter built in and are willing to pay for that added rigor.

- Real estate stocks eke out gains on earnings releases
May 9, 2026
[Playful Housing Growth Graph with Googly Eyes Representing Real Estate Trends and Market Growth]
Real estate stocks underperformed the broader markets but eked out gains on the back of individual company earnings announcements.
The sector had a mediocre start to May 2026 but remained strongly in the positive territory on a year-to-date basis.
This week, the S&P 500 Real Estate Index Sector (SP500-60 [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SP500-60]) increased 0.06% to close at 281.85 points, while the accompanying State Street Real Estate Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLRE [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/XLRE]) was up 0.02% to $44.41.
The Dow Jones REIT Indx Equity REIT Total Return Index (REIT:IND [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/REIT:IND]) added 0.57%, while the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs index advanced 0.56%.
Among largecap stocks, Healthpeak Properties (DOC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DOC]) led the gainers, adding 19.61% from the prior week to $19.64. This week, the healthcare REIT delivered Q1 [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4586293-healthpeak-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-on-solid-leasing-activity] top- and bottom-line beats and lifted its full-year guidance slightly.
Lamar Advertising (LAMR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/LAMR]) (+12.53% W/W to $157.93) followed with positive Q1 financial results [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4588097-lamar-advertising-gaap-eps-of-100-beats-by-018-revenue-of-528m-beats-by-552m].
KE Holdings (BEKE [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BEKE]) from China was also a significant gainer, advancing 10.61% from the prior week to $18.87. The week saw Goldman Sachs upgrade the stock to Buy from Neutral on the back of a potential recovery in China's property market and attractive valuation after a sell-off since late January.
CoStar Group (CSGP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CSGP]) led the losers in the category, retreating 5.62% from the prior week to $32.77.
Notably, Nasdaq Global Indexes said late Friday that Lumentum Holdings is set to replace [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4590233-lumentum-replace-costar-nasdaq-100] the real estate services provider on the Nasdaq-100 index later this month. Meanwhile, CEO Andy Florance added [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4584604-costar-group-stock-climbs-after-ceo-buys-2_5m-of-stock] 2.5M CSGP stocks late last week despite a dramatic fall in the stock's value year-to-date.
Realty Income (O [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/O]) (-2.96% W/W to $61.92) and American Tower (AMT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AMT]) (-2.80% W/W to $176.53) were the other notable losers.
Realty Income's Q1 [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4587498-realty-income-q1-earnings-revenue-top-consensus-but-full-year-guidance-disappoints] earnings and revenue topped consensus, but its same-store rental growth rate decelerated, and its full-year FFO guidance boost remained below the consensus estimate.
For midcap gainers, Americold Realty Trust (COLD [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/COLD]) led the pack with a 20.85% jump to $14.84. The industrial REIT exceeded estimates in terms of Q1 financial results [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4588227-americold-realty-trust-ffo-of-0_29-beats-by-0_10-revenue-of-629_9m-beats-by-27_75m] and announced a new joint venture [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4588360-americold-eqt-form-13b-cold-storage-joint-venture] with EQT (EQT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EQT]), which focuses on owning, operating, and developing temperature-controlled warehouse facilities across North America.
Compass (COMP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/COMP]) and Douglas Emmett (DEI [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DEI]), having posted stronger [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4586329-compass-gaap-eps-of-0_03-beats-by-0_19-revenue-of-2_7b-beats-by-30m] Q1 [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4586450-douglas-emmett-ffo-of-0_37-beats-by-0_01-revenue-of-251m-beats-by-0_64m] earnings, followed with an 18.00% addition to $8.72 and a 13.07% advance to $12.37, respectively.
For the top losers, Millrose Properties (MRP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/MRP]) retreated 11.33% to close at $26.93 as Q1 earnings [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4586849-millrose-properties-ffo-of-0_76-misses-by-0_01-revenue-of-194_9m-misses-by-6m] fell short of the average analyst estimate. Opendoor Technologies (OPEN [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/OPEN]) declined 7.90% to $5.01 on the back of mixed Q1 earnings [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4589139-opendoor-stock-advances-as-adjusted-ebitda-run-rate-turns-profitable-as-of-april-1].
Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HPP]) (+17.62% W/W to $10.95) and Chatham Lodging Trust (CLDT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CLDT]) (+13.24% W/W to $9.92) led the smallcap winners. The week saw the two companies post strong quarterly [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4588519-hudson-pacific-properties-ffo-of-0_25-beats-by-0_07-revenue-of-181_85m-beats-by-9_14m] earnings [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4588301-chatham-lodging-trust-reports-q1-results].
For the losers, Claros Mortgage Trust (CMTG [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CMTG]) (-11.03% W/W to $2.42) and PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (PMT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/PMT]) (-10.79% W/W to $11.00) led the pack after posting Q1 [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4588539-claros-mortgage-trust-gaap-eps-of-039] results [https://seekingalpha.com/news/4586278-pennymac-mortgage-investment-trust-gaap-eps-of-0_16-misses-by-0_21].

- How Investors Are Reacting To American Tower (AMT) Upgraded 2026 Outlook And Completed Buyback
May 8, 2026
In late April 2026, American Tower reported first-quarter results showing higher revenue and net income year over year and completed a US$567.55 million share repurchase program launched in 2017. The company also raised its 2026 earnings guidance, pointing to stronger-than-expected international performance and currency-related benefits, particularly in Latin America and Europe. We’ll now examine how American Tower’s upgraded 2026 outlook, underpinned by international growth, shapes the company’s broader investment narrative for investors.
This technology could replace computers: discover 27 stocks that are working to make quantum computing a reality.
What Is American Tower's Investment Narrative?
To own American Tower, you need to be comfortable with a long-term story built around global wireless infrastructure and data traffic, while accepting slower forecast growth than the broader US market and a mixed recent return profile. The Q1 beat, higher 2026 earnings guidance and completion of the US$567.55 million buyback modestly improve the near-term setup by reinforcing cash generation, international momentum in Latin America and Europe, and management’s confidence in the business. At the same time, a meaningful portion of the guidance upgrade stems from currency gains rather than core operating changes, which could prove temporary and leave earnings exposed if FX tailwinds reverse. Debt coverage by operating cash flow also remains an overhang, so the key short-term catalysts are execution on leasing, data center demand via CoreSite and how management balances dividends, buybacks and deleveraging in the next few quarters.
However, one risk investors should not overlook is how reliant current guidance is on FX tailwinds. Despite retreating, American Tower's shares might still be trading 33% above their fair value. Discover the potential downside here.
Exploring Other PerspectivesAMT 1-Year Stock Price Chart
Four private investors in the Simply Wall St Community see American Tower’s fair value between US$216.14 and US$268.49 per share, highlighting a wide spread of expectations. Set against management’s FX driven guidance upgrade and ongoing debt concerns, these differing views show why it can help to compare multiple opinions before deciding how this stock might fit in a portfolio.
