The rally in real estate investment trusts “has gotten a bit ahead of itself,” a former top analyst turned industry executive told Cramer and Erin Burnett during Monday’s Stop Trading!. But there are sectors worth buying within the REIT group, the executive said.
From the February 2007 peak to the trough, REITs fell more than 70%, said Jonathan Litt, founder and CEO of Land & Buildings Investment Management, and have regained 60% of those losses since the bottom. While REITs are still 10% below the peak, Litt doubted they even deserved these prices, which are about the same as the group’s average historical valuation. Given tight financing and “deteriorating” fundamentals, he said, REITs should “probably…trade at a below-average historical valuation.”
Litt said his firm was bullish on Chinese property companies such as CR Land, Hong Kong Land and China Overseas Land & Investment, as well as U.S. hotels, and bearish on apartment and office REITs.
