In late July 2026 analysts issued moderate‑buy recommendations for two U.S. real‑estate investment trusts, CareTrust REIT and Digital Realty Trust, setting one‑year price targets of roughly $45 and $218 respectively. The coverage included a mix of buys, holds and a few strong‑buy calls, and highlighted dividend yields and earnings performance.

A week later, analysts turned to the Canadian market, raising price targets for Dream Industrial Real Estate Trust to C$16.00–C$16.75 while maintaining buy or outperform ratings. Despite a modest share‑price dip, the trust’s financial metrics and projected earnings were cited as reasons for the upward revisions. Together, the snapshots show a broader trend of analysts expressing optimism across multiple REITs in North America, with both rating upgrades and higher price targets indicating confidence in sector performance.
