Market Factors: When to buy REITs, utilities, pipelines and telecom stocks
The Globe and Mail's Market Factors column discusses Scotiabank strategist Hugo Ste-Marie's cautious outlook for interest-sensitive dividend sectors, including REITs, utilities, pipelines and telecommunications. He argues that a pause in rising bond yields alone is insufficient to establish an attractive buying opportunity.
The column says his preferred conditions include a sustained decline in Treasury yields and a weakening U.S. growth outlook, neither of which he saw in place at the time. It distinguishes ongoing income distributions from potential volatility in share prices. These views describe the strategist's market assessment and are not Sequoia Research recommendations.
