Tessera Sector
Top Real Estate Stocks
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real-estate operators. Income-focused investors evaluate FFO yield and lease durability.
The Real Estate sector posts an average Tessera Quality Score of 71, comfortably above the broader universe average of 48, suggesting that as a group, qualifying real estate names clear a relatively high bar on the dimensions the screener measures. With 142 members meeting the threshold, the sector offers reasonable breadth, though score dispersion within the group is worth noting given that even the top-ranked names sit in the low-to-mid range on a 0–1 scale.
Valuation context adds texture to the picture. The sector's median P/E of 27.3 reflects the premium investors have historically assigned to income-generating real estate assets, a figure that frames individual holdings differently depending on their sub-sector dynamics. HR, the highest-scoring name in this cohort at 0.63, operates in the healthcare property niche, while CBL at 0.58 represents a retail mall-focused structure that has navigated meaningful industry headwinds. WSR, scoring 0.54, focuses on smaller community-centered properties, a model that scores moderately on Tessera's quality dimensions without standing out at either extreme.
Taken together, the Real Estate sector's average quality score of 71 positions it meaningfully ahead of the all-universe average of 48, making it one of the stronger-performing sectors by Tessera's methodology relative to the broader opportunity set screened.
