$GOOD pays monthly dividends at a 9.69% forward yield with a 63% FFO payout ratio — which means the distribution is actually covered. 98.7% occupancy, 100% rent collection in Q1, and revenue up from $37.5M to $41.9M year over year. Not flashy. Just consistent.

$CI raised full-year earnings guidance after 16% EPS growth last quarter. They're also mid-transition to a more transparent drug pricing model — the kind of structural shift that usually dents numbers. Hasn't yet. Worth watching.

Everyone is focused on AI stocks.

But the more interesting question is: who pays for all of this?

New data centers. New power plants. Grid upgrades. Trillions in infrastructure spending.

The AI boom is starting to spill into utilities, industrials, energy, and real estate. That's where some of the biggest opportunities may be hiding.

Regional banks are still getting painted with the same broad brush from the 2023 panic, but not all balance sheets are equal. F.N.B. Corporation ($FNB) just raised its dividend 8%, authorized a $250M buyback, grew EPS nearly 19% YoY, and still only pays out 29% of earnings.

A lot of investors are still ignoring high-quality regional banks with real cash flow and disciplined management.

Reliance $RS just posted record tons sold and landed government contracts worth up to $3 billion in potential revenue.

Meanwhile the company has only a 25% payout ratio 1.1x leverage and has raised its dividend for 16 straight years.

One of the more overlooked industrial dividend stories in the market right now.

This is perhaps why dividend stocks have quietly started outperforming a lot of speculative growth names again. When bond yields fall and stock/yield correlation turns deeply negative, investors start paying more for stable cash flow, predictable earnings, and income.

High-duration growth stocks still react heavily to rates, but quality dividend payers become a relative safe haven when bond markets start driving macro uncertainty.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

The stock-bond relationship is showing a rare pattern:

The 2-month correlation between US equities and the 10-year Treasury yield is down to -0.70, the lowest since 1999.

In other words, over the last 2 months, stocks and the 10-year Treasury yield have moved in opposite directions by the largest extent this century.

At the start of 2026, a positive correlation of 0.40 was observed, near the highest since 2023.

Additionally, the 30-day correlation is down to -0.68, also the lowest in 27 years.

Not even the 2022 bear market saw such a negative correlation, as the 10-year yield rose, driven by elevated inflation and Fed rate hikes, while stocks fell.

Bond markets are incredibly important right now.

Some Financial Themes That We're Seeing On X

Corporate layoffs are quietly picking up again

The Magnificent 7 is cracking — earnings dispersion is widening

Record Treasury issuance is flooding the bond market
Inflation isn't solved — it just moved to services

Earnings season is exposing real have and have-nots

AI infrastructure bottlenecks are back — chips, power, data centers

Consumer credit is tightening as delinquencies rise

Housing is frozen — rates stuck, inventory locked, buyers frustrated

Agree Realty $ADC just posted its biggest acquisition quarter since 2022 while keeping occupancy at 99.7%.

Monthly dividend growth continues, FFO growth is expected to nearly double the sector average, and the balance sheet remains conservative.

One of the cleaner long-term monthly income stories in REITs right now.

Bond yields at all time highs is one of the most important macro signals right now.

This isn’t just “rates up.” It’s a global repricing of government debt after years of ultra-low yields.

Higher yields = tighter financial conditions, pressure on equities, and a reset in how risk is priced across assets.

For investors, the key question isn’t just why it’s happening—it’s what breaks or reprices next.
