<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Home Depot 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Bank of America Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained a Buy</a> rating on Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) with a price target of $450 on Tuesday.
Ohmes noted that Home Depot announced plans for SRS Distribution to acquire GMS Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMS#NYSE">GMS</a>) for $110 per share or ~$4.3 billion (an implied EV of ~$5.5 billion).
The analyst said GMS is a leading distributor of specialty building products, including drywall, ceilings, and steel framing, in both residential and commercial markets.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/46169401/home-depots-distribution-arm-expands-with-5-5-billion-gms-buyout" rel="noreferrer noopener">Home Depot&#8217;s Distribution Arm Expands With $5.5 billion GMS Deal</a>
GMS reported 2024 sales of $5.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $615 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025. Given the timing and size of the deal (HD&#8217;s acquisition of SRS for $18.25 billion, closed in 82 days), Ohmes noted that the acquisition could close ahead of this timeline.
The analyst stated that the acquisition of GMS adds a new vertical (wallboard, ceilings, and steel framing) adjacent to SRS&#8217; existing business (roofing, landscaping, and pools).
He expects the acquisition to complement SRS, given the overlap in customers and similar capabilities in wholesale distribution.
Notably, post-acquisition, GMS will report to Dan Tinker of SRS, who is very excited about this transaction (combined 1,200 locations and 8,000 trucks capable of tens of thousands of jobsite deliveries daily), Ohmes said.
The analyst expects GMS to grow organically and through targeted acquisitions under Home Depot&#8217;s ownership.
He said Home Depot expects the transaction to be accretive to adjusted EPS (excluding amortization expense) in the first year after close, excluding synergies.
Similar to SRS, Ohmes expects GMS to have an unfavorable mix impact on gross margin.
The analyst noted that Home Depot will finance the acquisition through cash on hand and debt.
Home Depot expects to return to a 2.0x leverage ratio by the end of fiscal 2026, after which Ohmes expects the company to resume share repurchases.
The analyst said Home Depot remains focused on maturing Pro capabilities to serve more complex projects, with SRS now managing the company&#8217;s trade credit program.
While the macro remains choppy, Ohmes expects Home Depot to continue gaining shares as it accelerates growth and capabilities with the complex Pro organically and inorganically.
Price Actions:&nbsp;HD shares are trading higher by 2.69% at $376.54 at last check Tuesday. GMS is up 0.15%.

Home Depot's $5.5 Billion Deal Expands Its Reach To Thousands Of Job Sites

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a> was up around 4% in the first half of 2025, with 21 of the 30 components positive year-to-date through the first six months.
The index, which contains a diverse basket of stocks across sectors, offers many dividend stocks, with some having high yields for investors.
What Happened: When looking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/dividends">for dividend stocks</a>, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is one place with the index having a basket of what are considered blue-chip American companies.
The 30 index components have strong track records of revenue and earnings growth, and in many cases, a long history of paying dividends and raising the dividend amounts.
While investors can buy an ETF like the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the entire index, another option is to buy the &#8220;Dogs of the Dow.&#8221;
The "Dogs of the Dow" is a popular strategy that often coincides with the beaten-down stocks of the index which also offer high dividend payouts.
Here are the current top-yielding dividend stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the first six months of 2025.
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>): 6.3%</li>

</ol>
In the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 28 of the 30 stocks pay out dividends. The average dividend yield of the 30 companies is 2% with the 10 highest averaging a yield of 3.5%.
Twenty of the 30 stocks in the index pay out at least a 1% dividend yield based on current stock prices.

Why It's Important: Along with stock price gains, dividends can be a nice form of consistent growth for companies and investors.
Investors can choose to collect dividend yield and put the capital to work in other stocks, or use it as income for other investments or spending. Investors can also reinvest the dividends back into the companies from which they got dividends.
Over a long period of time, dividend stocks can offer strong returns for investors with yields sometimes outpacing the returns of the overall stock market or other asset classes such as bonds and treasuries.

Dogs Of The Dow: How You Can Get Dividend Stocks With Yields Up To 6.3%

The first half of 2025 has come to a close and 21 of the 30 stocks that make up the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average Index</a> are positive year-to-date.

<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>): -38.3%</li>
<li>Merck &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>): -20.4%</li>

</ol>
Overall the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the index, was up around 4% in the first half of 2025. This was a lower gain than the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, which had a 5.7% gain in the first half.

Why It's Important: Nvidia was one of the new Dow Jones components <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/12/42726598/dow-jones-2024-scoreboard-top-5-winners-losers-and-how-amazon-nvidia-could-reshape-2025">added in 2024</a> and the stock is one of the top performers in the first half of 2025. The stock replaced Intel, which was a top decliner in recent years.
The index also got rid of Walgreens, which was another poor performer in recent years. Its replacement Amazon was flat for the first half of 2025.
The new index makeup is showing strong signs of positive returns.
With 21 of the components positive year-to-date and one flat, this could mark one of the best years by the number of gainers in recent history.
In 2024, 18 of the 30 stocks were up for the full year. In 2023, 19 of the stocks in the index were up.
Perhaps most surprising is that two of the Magnificent Seven stocks rank among the worst performers in the first half of 2025, despite being part of the four Mag 7 members included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Apple was the fourth-worst performer in the index for the first half, falling 18.1%. That marks a sharp reversal from its standout status as the only Dow Jones stock to rank among the top gainers in both 2023 and 2024.
Amazon ranked ninth with a flat return, as only eight of the components were down. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains one of the most closely watched stock market indexes, serving as a gauge of overall market health. With only 30 stocks and a weighting based on stock price, rather than market capitalization, the index is less frequently used by some analysts and market experts than the broader S&amp;P 500 Index.

Dow Jones 2025 First Half Scoreboard: Top 10 Winners, Losers — Where Do Nvidia, Apple Stock Rank?

President Donald Trump is expected to attend on Tuesday the opening of a temporary migrant detention facility in Florida&#8217;s Everglades, dubbed &#8220;Alligator Alcatraz.&#8221;
What Happened: The visit underscores Trump&#8217;s aggressive immigration enforcement strategy that has triggered market volatility for companies dependent on immigrant labor, Reuters reported, citing sources.
The remote detention center earned its nickname from its location deep in the Everglades, where alligators, crocodiles and pythons provide natural security barriers with minimal staffing requirements, according to Florida officials. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requested Trump&#8217;s attendance at the facility opening.
Federal immigration detention numbers have surged 44% to 56,000 as of June 15, up from 39,000 when Trump took office in January. The administration has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">aggressively seeking additional detention capacity</a> to support what Trump calls &#8220;the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.&#8221;
The White House did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations now arrest 2,000 immigration offenders daily, significantly exceeding the 311 daily average under former President Joe Biden. The intensified enforcement has disrupted business operations at major retailers, including The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">federal raids targeted stores in California</a> without prior company notification.
Technology companies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44882049/peter-thiels-palantir-bags-30-million-order-from-ice-for-immigrant-tracking-system">capitalizing on enforcement efforts</a>. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) secured a $29.8 million ICE contract for its ImmigrationOS tracking system, designed to monitor visa overstays and self-deportations with &#8220;near real-time visibility.&#8221;
The Trump administration has reactivated the World War II-era Alien Registration Act, requiring all non-citizens to register with the federal government after 75 years of non-enforcement. Officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">estimate 3.2 million immigrants</a> remain unregistered under the new regime.
Border apprehensions have plummeted to under 10,000 monthly from over 100,000 a year ago, according to government data. Despite this decline, Trump maintains his deportation agenda, with immigration chief Tom Homan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">confirming 200,000 deportations over four months</a>.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) is deepening its investment in serving professional contractors with a major acquisition by its distribution arm, SRS Distribution Inc.
SRS announced Monday that it has signed a <a target="_blank" href="http://benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n46166002/the-home-depot-enters-into-agreement-for-srs-distribution-to-acquire-gms" rel="noreferrer noopener">definitive agreement to acquire</a> GMS Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMS#NYSE">GMS</a>), a top distributor of specialty building products across North America.
The deal values GMS at approximately $4.3 billion in equity and $5.5 billion in enterprise value, with a cash offer of $110 per share. The acquisition will be funded through a mix of available cash and debt.

It is not expected to affect The Home Depot&#8217;s plan to return to a 2.0x leverage ratio by the end of fiscal 2026. The companies expect the transaction to close by the end of fiscal 2025.
The deal is designed to broaden SRS&#8217;s capabilities and service offerings for residential and commercial construction projects by adding GMS&#8217;s portfolio of drywall, ceilings, steel framing, and related products.
The move expands The Home Depot&#8217;s reach in the pro contractor space, building on its earlier acquisition of SRS in 2024 to establish a leadership position in specialty distribution.
The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in the first year following closing, excluding synergies.
The acquisition is a significant step in The Home Depot&#8217;s multi-pronged strategy to dominate distribution in categories that extend beyond retail. GMS&#8217;s presence in core building materials complements SRS&#8217;s existing verticals in roofing, landscaping, and pool supplies.
The companies will operate from more than 1,200 locations and utilize a fleet exceeding 8,000 delivery trucks to service job sites across the U.S. and Canada.
SRS CEO Dan Tinker noted the scale and service capabilities the merger unlocks for both residential and commercial customers. Ted Decker, chair, president, and CEO of The Home Depot, emphasized the proven success of the SRS platform and said this move would create further opportunities to integrate and grow service offerings for pro clients.
John C. Turner, Jr., CEO of GMS, and his senior leadership team will continue to lead the business post-acquisition under the SRS umbrella. Turner said joining SRS and The Home Depot provides an opportunity to accelerate GMS&#8217;s mission while expanding the value delivered to contractors across North America.
As of May 4, Home Depot held <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45518559/home-depot-flags-tariff-and-supply-chain-risks-in-risk-statement-but-does-not-revise-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1.369 billion</a> in cash and equivalents.

GMS To Be Acquired By Home Depot Subsidiary SRS Distribution In $5.5B Deal At $110 Per Share

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday eliminated judicial restrictions on the Trump administration&#8217;s controversial third-country deportation program, allowing the government to resume sending migrants to nations other than their home countries without mandatory due process hearings. 
What Happened: The unsigned 6-3 decision marks a significant legal victory for President Donald Trump&#8216;s mass deportation initiative, which has already strained federal budgets and impacted labor-intensive sectors, Reuters reported.
The court lifted Boston-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy&#8217;s April 18 order that required migrants facing third-country deportation receive a &#8220;meaningful opportunity&#8221; to demonstrate potential torture risks at their destination. 
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by liberal justices, called the majority decision a &#8220;gross abuse&#8221; of judicial power, warning that &#8220;thousands will suffer violence in far-flung locales.&#8221;
The ruling comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces a $1 billion budget shortfall with three months remaining in the fiscal year, according to recent reports. ICE&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">current arrest quota of 3,000 daily immigrants</a>, up from 1,000 under previous guidance, has pushed detention facilities beyond their 41,000-bed capacity. 
The Department of Homeland Security has reallocated nearly $500 million to immigration operations but requires an additional $2 billion by September to avoid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">violating federal spending laws</a>.

Why It Matters: Recent ICE workplace raids have targeted labor-intensive sectors including agriculture, hospitality and retail operations. Home Depot Inc. stores faced enforcement actions in California, while the administration reversed guidance that had temporarily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966899/ice-raids-return-to-farms-hotels-and-restaurants-as-dhs-reverses-course-escalating-trumps-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-report">paused raids on farms, hotels and restaurants</a>.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the court&#8217;s decision &#8220;reaffirms the president&#8217;s authority to remove criminal illegal aliens&#8221; and advance public safety objectives. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded with &#8220;Fire up the deportation planes.&#8221;
Immigration enforcement has prompted widespread protests across Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, leading to the deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to California. This marks the first federal National Guard activation without <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966899/ice-raids-return-to-farms-hotels-and-restaurants-as-dhs-reverses-course-escalating-trumps-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-report">gubernatorial consent since 1965</a>.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QXO#NYSE">QXO</a>), according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/home-depot-bid-kicks-off-a-battle-for-5-billion-building-products-company-05cf2060">a</a> report by The Wall Street Journal.
QXO on June 19 hit the headlines with its unsolicited offer of $5 billion, a $95.20 per share all-cash offer to acquire GMS with a response deadline of June 24. Now, Home Depot's similar desire with undisclosed financial terms has positioned it directly against QXO.
GMS, a prominent North American building material distributor, operates with more than 320 distribution centers and around 100 tool rental locations across the U.S. and Canada.
The pressured profitability due to the deflation in prices of steel and high operating costs has drawn takeover interest from players in the overlapping sector.

Why It Matters: Signals of Brad Jacob's interest in acquiring soared the prices of GMS, which lately had modest sales growth of approximately 3%. While QXO, launched in December 2023, is smaller compared to Home Depot in terms of capitalization, it is known for its M&amp;A expertise under Jacob's leadership.
The continued aggressive push by the retailers signals an expansion of the professional contractor market, the segment that has already been enlarging into multibillion-dollar acquisitions, such as the purchase of SRS Distribution, a Texas-based distributor, by Home Depot for $18.25 billion.
As per the report, QXO's bid is being evaluated by the GMS's board. If they fail to respond by the end of the deadline, QXO will escalate its offer directly to the shareholders.

Home Depot Eyes GMS Acquisition, Setting Stage For Bidding War With QXO

The Wall Street Journal Reported Thursday, Home Depot Has Made An Offer To Acquire GMS

Retail therapy might be on hold, but not every aisle is bare. Consumer spending in the United States <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45971228/retail-sales-slump-more-than-expected-as-tariff-fears-hit-spending">unexpectedly slipped in May</a>, with retail sales declining 0.9% from month-to-month, a deeper decline than the 0.6% predicted by Dow Jones economists. That follows a weak 0.1% decrease last month, which indicates that American consumers are getting increasingly cautious amid increasing economic uncertainty, tariff speculation, and overall wallet fatigue.
But the tale behind the headlines is more complex. Certain parts of the retail world, particularly those serving value-focused or internet-bright shoppers, are not only holding their own, but doing well. And savvy fund investors are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">capitalizing on ETFs</a> tied to those robust categories.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs That Defied The Trend</h2>
Let&#8217;s dissect the bright spots, and the ETFs set to take advantage.
E-Commerce Keeps Clicking
ETF to Watch: ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>)
Top Stock Exposure: Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)- 24.26% weightage
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ol>
As shoppers shunned physical locations and hunted for bargains online, e-commerce remained steadfast. ONLN, an ETF that follows online and non-store retailers, became popular. With a stake in players such as Amazon, the ETF capitalizes on digital convenience trends that seem resistant to tariff shakes.
Why it works: In a shaky economy, consumers don&#8217;t totally abandon their dopamine fixes, they just want it with free shipping.
Miscellaneous Retail Pops
ETF to Watch: VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>)
Top Stock Exposure: Amazon- 20.61% weightage
<ol start="3" class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ol>
From novelty items to party favors, miscellaneous stores played strongly. Amazon, a player in this category, is its top holding. The RTH ETF, which tracks a wide range of retail players including specialty chains, picks up on this trend.
Home Sweet (Well-Furnished) Home
ETF to Watch: iShares U.S. Consumer Focused ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEDI#BATS">IEDI</a>)
Top Stock Exposure: Amazon- 10.7% weightage
<ol start="4" class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ol>
While housing starts and permits have been weak, furniture sales have been strong. IEDI, an ETF that offers exposure to a diversified portfolio of consumer-facing companies, is poised to ride this trend. Some are passing on the house but still buying new furniture to upgrade their present homes. Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) is the top holding in the fund, with a 10.7% weightage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Holding Back Retail</h2>
Outside of auto sales, retail still declined 0.3%, below forecasts for a modest gain. Major-ticket items such as autos and home improvement products were hit hard as consumers retreated. A lot of the March spending blowout, experts say, was probably front-loaded — caused by fear of higher prices as a result of expected tariffs tied to President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;liberation day&#8221; declaration in April.
In May, that urgency dissipated. Consumers were more discerning, choosing convenience, value, and low-cost indulgences.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Selective Resilience Is The New Growth</h2>
The wider retail narrative might be fading, but zoom in and you&#8217;ll discover islands of resilience, and ETF opportunities specific to each. From digital supremacy to fast fashion and value-led stores, consumer behavior is changing, not vanishing.
These ETFs provide exposure, yes, but insulation, enabling investors to avoid the retail carnage and access where demand resides in reality today.

Consumer Spending Slips, But These Niche Retail ETFs Are Defying The Downtrend

The best investments you will ever make in your entire life are those in sectors and opportunities where almost nobody else agrees with you.
The consensus holds that the asset class you are reviewing is terrible and investing there will almost certainly lead to immediate and severe loss of funds.
Right at this moment, as we survey Wall Street and Main Street, it is probably easier to find eight-year-old kids looking forward to a dinner of liver and onions with chicken gizzards and broccoli than openly enthusiastic advocates of investing in commercial real estate.
When you take an asset class this universally hated and discover that only private equity professionals truly love it, I start to get interested.
Recently, KKR &amp; Co (Ticker: KKR) came out and waxed poetic about opportunities in commercial real estate debt, pointing out severe price contractions. Low prices tend to bring out buyers and dealmakers, exactly what we are seeing.
John Gray at Blackstone (Ticker: BX) has emerged as a vocal advocate, pounding the table that this is the time to be opportunistic and aggressive. Gray came up through Blackstone&#8217;s real estate division and knows these markets intimately. His firm has generated tremendous returns for themselves and investors in commercial real estate.
When the best minds in private equity begin to pick at and nibble around a sector, it is generally time to start getting interested.
When I examine commercial real estate, offices immediately come to mind. The conventional wisdom holds that offices are empty, and nobody will ever work in them again. People envision office space as something from a post-apocalyptic movie.
In a word, bleak.
The forecast appears terrible.
Workers want to stay home in their sweatpants with dress shirts and ties for Zoom (Ticker: ZM) calls.
That paradigm is shifting. We have completed our work-from-home experiment. The office decline is beginning to ebb, stabilizing at a new, lower baseline.
Across the country, return-to-work policies are emerging. Financial services led the charge. The federal government has made it official policy. State and local governments are following suit.
Artificial intelligence companies are mandating office returns, recognizing that breakthrough innovation requires massive collaborative efforts that demand physical presence.
Return-to-work mandates represent just one factor.
Construction has virtually stopped. Even developers interested in office construction cannot secure financing for new projects.
According to a recent CBRE Group (Ticker: CBRE) report, the math has fundamentally shifted. The combined number of office conversions, to life science buildings, medical facilities, condominiums, and residential buildings, plus outright demolitions exceeds new supply coming to market in many U.S. markets.
We are witnessing the creation of a supply-constrained office market, particularly for Class A space where everyone wants to locate.
Within just a few years, we will face a supply-and-demand imbalance resulting in an actual shortage of high-end Class A office space.
This trend is emerging everywhere, even in battered markets like San Francisco. There, AI-related office space has grown fivefold over recent years and is projected to triple again over the next five years.
&nbsp;Demand is building while new supply remains nonexistent. Office real estate is beginning to improve, yet nobody is paying attention.
For three to four years running, I have heard predictions that multifamily real estate will collapse. These forecasts began with the initial post-pandemic surge that elevated multifamily values.
The reality is we face a massive affordability crisis in residential real estate. Three factors have created a perfect storm: older homeowners with no intention of moving, persistently high mortgage rates, and builders correctly focused on higher-margin market segments.
This combination has eliminated supply at the market&#8217;s lower end.
Estimates of the housing shortage range from two million to six million units, with the true number likely between four and five million.
We face an absolute shortage of new single-family and attached homes (think townhouses rather than condominiums).
Substantial new supply will not come online until older homeowners who own much of existing inventory either pass away or are convinced by their children to relocate. Something must break this logjam.
The mathematics are stark: older homeowners hold mortgages below four percent, creating zero incentive to sell and generate new inventory.
New construction requires tax and economic incentives to make first-time and move-up home building financially viable for developers. That relief remains distant.
The Mortgage Brokers Association forecasts no significant pickup in single-family housing activity over the next several years, nor any meaningful decline in mortgage rates.
Paradoxically, if mortgage rates do fall meaningfully, it will signal that economic activity has ground to a halt, creating different affordability problems entirely.
This dynamic sustains strong multifamily demand. An entire demographic cohort that would typically have purchased homes remains trapped in apartments.
These demographic shifts are creating apartment demand surges. The substantial building wave over recent years to meet post-COVID demand filled immediately upon completion. Construction is decelerating as financing becomes more selective. Lenders will only finance the best apartment complexes in the hottest, highest-end markets.
This pullback makes multifamily commercial real estate particularly attractive, especially if acquired during broader market sell-offs.
Logistics and industrial real estate has emerged as the hottest market, driven by global supply chain restructuring and e-commerce growth. Warehousing has migrated from central districts to locations closer to cities and towns.
&nbsp;Currently, everyone is holding their breath over trade uncertainties and their potential impact on global logistics and supply chains.
This too shall pass.
The underlying demand remains robust. While we experienced a supply surge as supply chains were remade following early COVID disruptions, that wave is now ebbing.
Demand has remained strong, existing supply is filling up, and occupancy rates are very high. The outlook for industrial and logistics real estate remains very positive.
Retail properties present a bifurcated market similar to office real estate. Second and third-tier malls are finished, destined for the dustbin of history. However, Class A malls with premier tenants, exceptional entertainment and dining options, and high-end retail remain fantastic businesses.
Outlet malls continue to thrive.
Open-air centers that are internet-resistant featuring grocery stores, gyms, medical offices, and pharmacies are performing exceptionally well.
Single-tenant net lease retail properties represent another compelling opportunity. These include Walgreens(Ticker: WBA), Starbucks (Ticker: SBUX), Home Depot (Ticker: HD), Walmart (Ticker: WMT), McDonald&#8217;s (Ticker: MCD), Burger King (Ticker: QSR), and other standalone businesses.
When you examine the four corners of any major city intersection, those corner buildings typically house net lease, single-tenant real estate. This is one of my favorite segments of the real estate market and a fantastic business model.
Most commercial real estate sectors are performing well. The only serious problems have been concentrated in downtown office buildings, and even there, the combination of constrained new supply, return-to-work mandates, conversions, and demolitions is generating meaningful market improvement.
This presents an opportune time to consider commercial real estate investments: direct property ownership, commercial real estate companies, servicing companies, and non-REIT companies that own real estate assets. Real opportunity exists here because no one on Wall Street that I am aware of is advocating for commercial real estate and commercial real estate services. Numerous companies are flying well under the radar, potentially offering huge long-term returns for patient, aggressive investors willing to step into the liver and onions of current financial markets.
FRP Holdings (Ticker: FRPH) embodies everything I discussed about commercial real estate opportunities. This Jacksonville, Florida-based holding company operates across four distinct segments that perfectly capture the themes I believe are driving the commercial real estate renaissance: Industrial and Commercial properties, Mining Royalty Lands, Development, and Multifamily residential.
The crown jewel of FRP Holding's portfolio remains largely invisible to most investors.
It is approximately 16,650 acres under lease for mining rents or royalties and an additional 4,280 acres through its Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials. These properties contain reserves totaling over 500 million tons, representing decades of steady cash flow.
I find the mining segment particularly attractive because it brings in approximately $10 million annually in revenue with roughly 90% free cash flow margin, generating $9 million in free cash flow.
Think about that mathematics for a moment. &nbsp;
This represents the purest form of real estate investment, land that generates income without the headaches of tenant management, building maintenance, or capital expenditure cycles. The mining royalty business provides FRP Holdings with a steady foundation of cash flow that supports their more aggressive development activities.
I also like FRP Holding's multifamily portfolio concentration in the Washington D.C. market, exactly where I want exposure as a real estate investor. D.C. is fairly recession-resistant since the federal government is the biggest employer in the area.
The company owns interests in multiple apartment complexes including Dock 79, The Maren, The Verge, Bryant Street, and .408 Jackson through joint ventures.
The strategic positioning becomes clear when you examine FRP Holding's development pipeline. The company has executed an agreement with Steuart Investment Company and MidAtlantic Realty Partners for the development of up to ten mixed-use projects in the Capitol Riverfront and Buzzard Point submarkets of Washington, D.C.
&nbsp;Upon completion and stabilization, these projects will comprise over 3 million square feet of mixed-use development including 3,000 residential units and 150,000 square feet of retail.
I see FRP Holding's industrial segment perfectly capturing the trends I discussed earlier about logistics and warehousing demand.
The company entered into two new joint venture agreements in early 2024 with Altman Logistics. The first joint venture is a 200,000 square-foot warehouse development project in Lakeland, FL, and the second joint venture is a 182,000 square-foot warehouse redevelopment project in Broward County, FL.
Shell construction on their spec warehouse project in Aberdeen, MD on Chelsea Road was completed effective April 1, 2025, and is in the lease-up phase.
&nbsp;This 258,000 square-foot industrial asset in Harford County, Maryland represents exactly the type of modern logistics facility that companies need as they restructure supply chains closer to population centers.
I find the company&#8217;s industrial strategy particularly well-timed. FRP Holding aims to double its industrial segment over five years by delivering three new industrial assets every two years.
This aggressive expansion targets markets where demand for modern warehouse and distribution facilities continues growing while new supply remains constrained.
One of the most compelling aspects of FRP Holdings that involves its ownership structure and management alignment. The Baker family owns approximately 35% of the company, with the CEO owning 14.8% and other family members owning an additional 20.8%.
Company CEO John Baker is the largest shareholder with 15% of shares outstanding.
This represents serious skin in the game.
&nbsp;When management owns more than one-third of the business, their interests align perfectly with my interests as an outside shareholder.
The Baker family has shown that they are willing to sell if the right offer presents itself, which creates substantial shareholder value.
They have also demonstrated disciplined capital allocation, evidenced by the company repurchasing $20 million of shares during the pandemic below NAV.
I see FRP Holding's development pipeline providing multiple catalysts for future growth. In 2025, the company anticipates moving forward with two multifamily projects outside the DC area, one in South Carolina and the other in southwest Florida.
The company&#8217;s development expertise spans nearly four decades. Through its subsidiaries, FRP Development Corp &amp; Florida Rock Properties, Inc., FRP Holdings has nearly 40 years of development experience.
Several factors contribute to FRP Holding's relative obscurity among investors, which I view as an opportunity. FRP Holdings is covered by 4 analysts, with 0 of those analysts submitting estimates of revenue or earnings used as inputs to reports. The company operates in unfashionable sectors, mining royalties, apartment buildings, and warehouses, rather than the technology or growth companies that capture headlines.
FRPH does not currently pay a dividend, which eliminates income-focused investors from the shareholder base.
The company&#8217;s complex structure across multiple real estate segments requires more analysis than most investors want to undertake. This complexity creates the opportunity for those of us willing to do the work.
I believe FRP Holdings represents everything attractive about the commercial real estate opportunity I described. The company combines steady cash flows from mining royalties, growth potential from industrial development, and strategic positioning in recession-resistant Washington D.C. multifamily markets.
Management owns more than one-third of the business and has demonstrated disciplined capital allocation over decades.
This combination of quality assets, aligned management, and market neglect creates exactly the type of contrarian opportunity that I believe patient investors should embrace.
For investors willing to step into the liver and onions of today&#8217;s financial markets, I see FRP Holdings offering compelling exposure to the commercial real estate renaissance that nobody wants to discuss. The best investments you will ever make are those where almost nobody else agrees with you, and right here, almost nobody is paying attention to FRP Holdings.

Under the Radar: The Contrarian Case for Commercial Real Estate Is Getting Stronger

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reversed guidance Monday that had paused Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at farms, hotels and restaurants, potentially impacting labor-intensive sectors and supply chain operations critical to market stability.
What Happened: Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials told agency leaders during a Monday call that workforce site raids must continue at agricultural businesses, hotels and restaurants, the Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/06/16/trump-farms-hotels-immigration-raids/">reported</a>, citing sources. The reversal comes after internal guidance last week had directed agents to pause such operations.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration had initially directed immigration officials to largely halt raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and meatpacking plants, according to the report. The policy shift occurred as ICE operations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45919950/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-keep-national-guard-in-california-for-now">averaged 2,000 daily arrests</a>, significantly exceeding the 311 daily average under former President Joe Biden.
Recent enforcement actions have targeted retail locations, including Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) stores in Westlake, Whittier and Huntington Park without prior notification.
ICE did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The raids target sectors including agriculture, hospitality and food processing. Trump took office in January, pledging to deport millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, with thousands of suspected immigration offenders with no criminal records swept up in recent months.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has opposed federal deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles during immigration protests, marking the first federal National Guard activation without gubernatorial consent since 1965. 
Current enforcement operations have prompted protests across major metropolitan areas, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45938132/us-marines-detain-civilian-in-los-angeles-amid-immigration-protests-first-known-incident-of-its-kind-report">197 arrests reported in a single day</a> in Los Angeles. The administration has deployed 200 Marines and over 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles.

ICE Raids Return To Farms, Hotels And Restaurants As DHS Reverses Course, Escalating Trump's Crackdown On Illegal Immigration: Report

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk urged U.S. authorities Monday to respect peaceful assembly rights and avoid military force against protesters opposing President Donald Trump&#8216;s immigration crackdown.
The warning comes as federal tensions escalate with 4,700 troops deployed in Los Angeles amid eight days of demonstrations.
What Happened: Turk told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva that authorities should &#8220;refrain from any resort to military force when civilian authorities are capable of maintaining public order,&#8221; reported Reuters.
His statement follows an unprecedented deployment of U.S. Marines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45938132/us-marines-detain-civilian-in-los-angeles-amid-immigration-protests-first-known-incident-of-its-kind-report">who detained civilian Marcos Leao</a>, an Army veteran, at the Wilshire Federal Building Friday.
The incident marked the first known active-duty military detention of a civilian in Los Angeles. Marines used zip ties to restrain Leao before transferring him to Department of Homeland Security custody.
Military Northern Command confirmed active-duty forces can temporarily detain individuals under specific conditions before immediate transfer to civilian law enforcement.
Currently, 200 Marines and 2,000 National Guard members protect federal assets in Los Angeles, with 500 additional Marines and 2,000 Guard troops expected.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45878983/us-cities-brace-for-escalating-immigration-protests-los-angeles-enforces-curfew-national-guard-deployed-amid-trump-crackdown">arrest 2,000 immigration offenders daily</a>, exceeding the 311 daily average under former President Joe Biden.
California Governor Gavin Newsom sued to block military deployment, calling it an assault on democracy. A federal appeals court allowed Trump to maintain National Guard control, marking the first federal activation without gubernatorial consent since 1965. Los Angeles imposed downtown curfews with 197 arrests in one day.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45939400/trump-administration-enforces-long-dormant-world-war-ii-era-alien-registration-act">reactivated the World War II-era Alien Registration Act,</a> requiring 3.2 million unregistered immigrants to register with the government or face prosecution under the &#8220;mass self-deportation&#8221; strategy. The Department of Homeland Security received 47,000 registrations since April enforcement began.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta warned federal troop deployment could violate the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act restricting military involvement in civilian law enforcement. Former President Barack Obama defended DACA recipients Sunday, stating families &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">are being demonized and treated as enemies&#8221;.</a>
