Today’s video is on a REIT which is absolutely destroying the S&P 500 in total returns on a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 year basis.

In order to get special tax treatment, US law requires that real estate investment trusts or REITs pay out at least 90% of their income in dividends. REITs have a lot of tax exemptions which allow them to pass on more income in dividends to their investors like us. The downside is that because of the preferential tax treatment, our dividends are taxed at the ordinary tax rate. Other benefits of investing in a REIT is that it gives diversification to your stock investment portfolio and typically pays a higher dividend which means more income in your pocket. Benefits of owning a REIT over buying real estate yourself are liquidity, convenience, speed, fees, and paperwork. Buying a REIT takes only a few moments, and it can be sold just as easily. Buying and selling a rental property will require far more effort and time.

In this video, we analyze a real estate investment trust, American Tower Corporation, ticker symbol AMT. In this video, I analyze American Tower Corporation stock, it’s diversification, growth, valuation, dividends (including dividend yield, dividend payout ratio, dividend growth, and dividend history), debt, safety, and future prospects. The consideration of valuation is unique as REIT valuation takes a different focus than what we might do for common stocks. We will be discussing AFFO or adjusted funds from operations. In addition to fundamental analysis, we discuss how AMT is impacted by current market and economic conditions and what might be expected in the future.
