Real Estate Stocks Worth Watching – May 1st

Blackstone, Apollo Global Management, and Welltower are the three Real Estate stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Real estate stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that own, develop, manage, or finance income-producing property—most commonly real estate investment trusts (REITs), as well as property developers, managers and brokers. For stock market investors they offer equity exposure to the property market with potential dividend income and price appreciation, but carry risks tied to interest rates, property values and economic cycles while being more liquid than direct real estate ownership. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Real Estate stocks within the last several days.
