Getty Images I previously reiterated my Buy rating for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. ( DLR ) in February 2026, as the FQ4'25 performance metrics proved its AI beneficiary status. In this article, I shall discuss why DLR remains a Great Buy, albeit after a moderate correction given the overly done stock price rally from the December 2025 bottom. DLR Delivers Robust AI Monetization Trends DLR 1Y Stock Price (Trading View) 1. Outsized AI Optimism Since my last article, DLR has delivered an outsized stock price return of +17.1% compared to the wider market at +2.7%, with a similar outperformance also observed in its data center REIT peers in varying degrees. Much of their outperformance is attributed to the notable market rotation to stocks with " infrastructure-adjacent real assets " and "AI-enabled operating models," with a similar double digits rally also observed in the iShares U.S. Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF ( IDGT ) by +60.4% since the 52 week bottom. The exuberance is unsurprising indeed, since these assets supposedly "demonstrate greater scalability and margin resilience, supporting premium valuations and tighter bid-ask spreads," significantly aided by the hyperscalers' outsized spending trends during the multi-year cloud super cycle. On the software layer, many SaaS players have also reiterated the increasing AI use cases and the expanding AI monetization trends, including: Palantir ( PLTR ) for commercial/defense applications, Microsoft ( MSFT ) for enterprise/cloud applications, and Google ( GOOG ) for advertising/cloud applications, with it lending credence to the growing AI compute demand. 2. FQ1'26 Metrics Discussed The same has been observed in DLR's robust FQ1'26 booking metrics, across: the total backlog of $1.8B ( +95.8% YoY ), the growing total bookings of $707M (+192.1% YoY), the higher base rent per Kilowatt at $191 (-21.7% YoY/+55.2% from FQ4'19 of $123), and the rich renewal spreads at +5% YoY on a cash basis (-0.6 points YoY/+6.3 fr...

Alexander Farnsworth/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The stock market in 2026 has rallied to fresh all-time highs, but the market hasn’t drifted uniformly upward either. 2026 has been a story of winners and losers. Most tech stocks outside the chip sector are major decliners, while semiconductors, energy, and consumer staples companies have led the way. Walmart ( WMT ), the retail giant, has taken advantage of this flight-to-safety mentality to cross a $1 trillion market cap for the first time. Its stock is up ~15% since the start of the year and nearly 40% over the past 12 months, adding hundreds of billions in market value along the way. We have to ask: C an we rationalize Walmart’s gains? Data by YCharts I’m initiating Walmart at a "Sell" rating. Though it’s difficult to argue with the strength of this retailer’s execution in an incredibly tough economic backdrop, it’s also easy to see that this has become an overcrowded trade. There are overlooked aspects that make the bull case for Walmart weaker, and in particular, I’m eyeing the fact that after accounting for huge recent capex spending, Walmart’s earnings from a free cash flow basis are lower than the EPS denominators used in an already-rich P/E multiple. The next major catalyst for Walmart is its Q1 earnings print, due on May 21. Take the opportunity of the recent rally to de-risk your Walmart position before then. The positive highlights: S trong comps, rising gross margins First, we should address exactly what has driven the bullish wave for Walmart in the first place. In a market environment that has been incredibly volatile, especially over the impacts of AI on layoffs and tech, Walmart has screamed stability and safety. The snapshot below showcases the company’s rolling four-quarter trend in comparable sales, or revenue growth from existing stores (excluding new openings). Walmart comps trends (Walmart Q4 earnings deck) In Q4 (the most recent quarter ending in January 2026), Walmart’s comps excluding ...

jacquesdurocher/iStock via Getty Images Carlisle Companies Incorporated ( CSL ) reported a mixed performance in Q1 . Sector volatility continues to weigh on the building envelope product supplier, as new construction remains sluggish and higher oil prices cause noteworthy input cost inflation. Carlisle has stabilized its earnings well considering the current environment; operating efficiencies, pricing increases, and more defensive replacement & remodel activity have stabilized earnings despite sector weakness. I initiated the stock at a Hold rating in my previous December 2024 article on the stock, titled “ Carlisle Companies: Trump's Policies, Industry Trends To Aid Earnings. ” The stock has since lost -14% of its value, while the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) has returned 17%. My Rating History on CSL (Seeking Alpha) Carlisle Q1 Review The industry environment still hasn’t been easy for Carlisle, unlike what I expected in my previous article. Non-residential construction , accounting for 82% of Carlisle’s revenues, has remained very sluggish throughout 2025 and going into 2026 as macroeconomic uncertainty weighs on construction. At the same time, residential housing starts remain way below the historical trend due to weak affordability. High interest rates and general economic uncertainty weigh on construction. Non-Residential Construction Spending (FRED) Carlisle’s Q1 results still clearly reflected a weak macroeconomic backdrop; the company itself notes impacts from the Middle East conflict and weak housing affordability. Revenues came in at $1.05 billion, down by -4.0% year-on-year. Both the CCM and CWT segments’ sales declined due to slower new construction activity. The result was also weak in comparison to Carlisle’s near breakeven growth in the previous five quarters, though, reported in a similarly weak macroeconomic backdrop. Harsh winter weather weighed further on Q1 sales, as contractors spent less days on the roof throughout the quarter. CSL Q1 2026 Investor Pres...
