Demystifying Alexandria Real Estate: Insights From 7 Analyst Reviews

Baird analyst David Koning maintains Genpact (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/G#NYSE">G</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $44 to $48.

Baird Maintains Neutral on Genpact, Raises Price Target to $48

Yields on U.S. sovereign debt declined Thursday after the Federal Reserve eased monetary policy by slashing interest rates by 0.25 percentage points.&nbsp;
What happened: The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield dropped by 0.8 basis points to 4.335%, while the yield on 2-year government bonds slid 2 basis points to 4.197%.
Similarly, rewards on 6-month treasuries dipped 1.3 basis points to 4.127%.
Treasury bonds are considered low-risk investments because the U.S. government backs them, making it unlikely that the government will default on its debt obligations.
Comparing these rewards with those offered by the digital asset industry painted an intriguing picture.
The annualized average yield rate for staking Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), the second-largest cryptocurrency, stood at 3.39% as of this writing, <a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/ethereum-2-0/analytics">according </a>to Staking Rewards, marking a decline of 14 basis points in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
On the other hand, stakers of Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, stood to earn 6.31% if they held their SOL for 365 days.
Solana's yield dropped more than one basis point in the last 24 hours and nearly 17 basis points over the week.
Ethereum&#8217;s price has faced pressure from rising Treasury yields over the past two months. As evident from the graph below, the cryptocurrency has shifted sideways while the yields have risen since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">Fed&#8217;s previous rate cut</a> in September.

Why It Matters: Yields on cryptocurrencies—otherwise considered to be risky investments—were first catching up as a talking point even in TradFi circles.
Last month, a research paper by asset management firm Ark Invest highlighted Ethereum's position <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41349588/cathie-woods-ark-invest-says-ethereum-is-a-big-idea-that-will-transform-the-financial-serv">as an "institutional-grade asset"</a> with yield-bearing potential.
The firm added that Ethereum was beginning to develop attributes in the digital asset space similar to those of U.S. Treasury bills in the traditional space.
It's worth mentioning that, unlike sovereign bonds, which have a fixed term called the maturity period, cryptocurrencies like Ether and SOL can be staked for an indefinite period.
Additionally, like periodic interest payments in the case of yields, staking rewards are paid programmatically, depending on the specific blockchain network and staking protocol.
Price Action: At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $2,919.04. up 3.62% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. SOL was up 6.36% to $199.28. 
Year-to-date, the two cryptocurrencies exhibited contrasting trajectories, with SOL nearly doubling in value this year, while Ether gained only 28%.

Cities across the U.S. are grappling with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/41082529/its-not-a-housing-crisis-but-a-housing-policy-crisis-homebuilders-call-out-roadblocks-as-prices-surg">housing crisis,</a> and short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo have found themselves at the center of the debate. Since Irvine, California, banned short-term rentals six years ago, the city's leadership remains confident in the decision.&nbsp;
"It's been great," Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan told reporters, adding that residents have supported the ban. Irvine is just one of several municipalities tightening restrictions on short-term rentals, arguing that they exacerbate housing affordability issues by removing homes from the long-term rental market.

</ul>
As reported by CNN, however, economists and housing experts do not completely agree on how significant a role short-term rentals play in driving up rent prices. &#8220;Real estate is local,&#8221; said Michael Seiler, a finance and real estate professor at the College of William &amp; Mary.&nbsp;
According to Seiler, the impact of Airbnb and similar platforms varies based on local market dynamics, making it a nuanced issue rather than a one-size-fits-all problem. "Everything that someone says is bad about Airbnb, I can tell you there's a corresponding group who feels it's good."

The short-term rental market in the U.S. has exploded, reaching $64 billion in 2023, up from $39 billion just four years earlier, according to data from AirDNA. The increase in listings, which now number over 2.4 million, coincides with a nationwide housing shortage.&nbsp;
Experts estimate the U.S. needs to build around 2 million homes to address the supply-demand imbalance. Still, many properties listed on platforms like Airbnb are vacation homes or people's primary residences, meaning they might not return to the long-term rental market even if restrictions are imposed.

According to Airbnb's Vice President of Public Policy, Theo Yedinsky, targeting short-term rentals to solve the housing crisis won't fix the problem. "Every housing unit that's on Airbnb isn't necessarily going back on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40303870/dave-ramsey-warns-against-long-term-renting-heres-why-it-could-be-a-costly-choice-even-if-buying">long-term rental</a> market," Yedinsky told CNN.&nbsp;
Research backing this viewpoint includes a 2019 study published in the Harvard Business Review, which found that a 1% increase in Airbnb listings correlates with a negligible increase in long-term rents — just 0.018%. These findings suggest that the housing crisis is more complex than short-term rentals alone.
However, there are cases where restricting short-term rentals has appeared to benefit local housing markets. A study co-authored by Seiler indicated that Irvine's short-term rental ban contributed to a 3% reduction in long-term rental prices between 2018 and 2021. At the same time, the number of long-term rental units increased.&nbsp;

Even so, Mayor Khan admitted that Irvine's affordability issues persist, with median rents still 134% higher than the national average, according to Zillow. "The ban is not the end of it," Khan said, noting the need for more housing development.
In contrast, Telluride, Colorado, experienced unintended consequences of short-term rental restrictions. After implementing a cap on these rentals in hopes of improving housing affordability, the city saw a decline in tourism, a vital part of its local economy.
&#8220;We're a tourism economy,&#8221; said Telluride City Council member Dan Enright. The city let the cap expire as they were faced with economic repercussions. They opted for a compromise in which short-term rental hosts pay fees reinvested in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41561685/housing-affordability-was-the-exception-renters-and-homeowners-differ-on-key-election-issue-redfin-s">affordable housing</a> projects. "Only time will tell, but I feel the early signs are positive," Enright told reporters.
