Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Financials Stocks With Over 12% Dividend Yields

Real estate has been having a decent 2024. The S&amp;P 500 Real Estate Select Sector SPDR (ARCA:XLRE) has advanced 11.1% year to date as of Sept. 4. The sector declined till the end of June. However, optimism about the Fed introducing rate cuts in the economy and falling mortgage rates seem to have triggered a turnaround.
Buoyed by signals from the Fed, the benchmark 30-year average mortgage rate fell to 6.5% late last week, its lowest level since May 2023. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell further on Aug. 30 to 6.37%. The National Association of Realtors (&quot;NAR&quot;) expects the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to average 6.9% in its recent quarterly forecast published in June. This is an upward revision from its previous forecast of 6.7%. NAR has also revised its forecast upward for the fourth quarter to 6.5-6.7%. It expects that the second half of 2024 will witness moderately lower mortgage rates, higher home sales and price stability.
Elevated mortgage rates have reduced affordability and hence, dampened home sales. It has also put pressure on existing homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages who have seen their monthly payments go through the roof. Overall confidence in the housing market remains fairly subdued, according to the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). The index changed only slightly in July, falling to 42 from 43 in June.
However, with rate cuts almost certainly starting from September, coupled with the fact that mortgage rates are coming down, there might be better times ahead for home buyers. Even in case of an unlikely recession, a higher inventory of homes would bring prices further down, luring first-time buyers. One must, thus, start considering parking part of their investments in promising stocks in the sector.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts will also offer forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide further guidance on stocks. Investors who use analyst ratings should note that this specialized advice comes from humans and may be subject to error.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
