Carnival is trading at a discount due to volatility in fuel prices linked to the Iran war and investors should scoop up the stock, according to HSBC. The bank upgraded the cruise operator to buy from hold. It trimmed its price target on shares to $30.10 from $33.60, though that still suggests about 24% upside from Friday's close.

Carnival is trading at a discount due to volatility in fuel prices linked to the Iran war and investors should scoop up the stock, according to HSBC. The bank upgraded the cruise operator to buy from hold. It trimmed its price target on shares to $30.10 from $33.60, though that still suggests about 24% upside from Friday's close. "While volatility [is] likely to remain near term, we see shares attractively valued," HSBC analyst Meredith Prichard Jensen said Friday in a note to clients. "We think the current share price largely reflects fuel-related risk." Carnival is susceptible to swings based on fuel price hikes related to the Iran war, given its "unhedged exposure" to the resource, according to HSBC. Since the beginning of the Middle East conflict in late February, Carnival has shed 23.3%. "We acknowledge greater near-term earnings uncertainty versus peers, like RCL , which benefit from derivative protection," Jensen wrote. However, the analyst pointed out that the stock trades at around 10 times forward earnings, well below a two-year average of 12.4. Jensen noted that the cruise ship line is likely to weather operational challenges posed by the conflict in the Middle East due to its strong value proposition and its ability to remain flexible to shifting demands. "The market is underestimating the resilience of experience-led demand (CCL has c85% of 2026e booked at healthy pricing), the strong value proposition (c25% discount to land-based vacations), and its fleet of mobile assets able to shift deployment according to demand," HSBC wrote. Shares have plunged 23% over the past month, massively underperforming the overall market. However, the stock is still up nearly 22% in the past year.

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images Rental property investments are very popular for one main reason: they can generate significant monthly income. Tenants pay you rent every month for the right to occupy your property, and it generally requires relatively little work from the landlord. As such, rentals can be a great investment if you are looking to generate monthly income in retirement or are simply seeking to achieve financial freedom. But REITs ( VNQ ) are even better. Lots of them also pay their dividends on a monthly basis, but unlike rentals, which still require some effort from their owners, REITs are 100% passive investments. You have a professional management team that handles everything for you in a highly cost-efficient way, as they enjoy significant economies of scale. The typical management cost is only about 50 basis points of assets each year, far lower than most other private real estate investments: EPRA via Book "The REIT Advantage" Then, on top of that, REIT investors also enjoy the benefits of diversification, liquidity, limited liability, and leverage without having to sign any of the mortgages themselves. Finally, because REITs now exist in 40+ countries, investors have 1,000+ different options to evaluate. As such, there are always some opportunities available somewhere if you know where to look. In what follows, I am going to highlight 3 of my favorite monthly dividend-paying REITs to buy in today's market, ranked from the lowest to the highest yielders. BSR Real Estate Investment Trust ( HOM.U:CA / BSRTF ) BSR REIT is an apartment REIT that focuses almost exclusively on the rapidly growing Texas Triangle of Dallas, Austin, and Houston. BSR REIT The REIT has strategically decided to focus on these specific markets as they are expected to keep attracting lots of businesses and wealthy individuals, who are deciding to relocate there to reduce their tax burden and other costs while also improving their quality of life. This then leads to lot...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images I wanted to write a short-form post regarding the ebbs and flows of the stock market and – particularly – how dividend investing has prevailed! They perform well during good times and perform even better during bad times! Dividend Investing Is Winning First, we have to talk about the dividend ETFs of SCHD and VYM . SCHD is up YTD 9.77%. VYM is up YTD 0.65%. S&P 500 ( SPY ) is down YTD 7.14%. Therefore, SCHD is outperforming by almost 17%, VYM is outperforming by over 7%. The top companies in many of the dividend ETFs are oil and gas, and they are doing very well this year. Why, though, is Dividend Winning? Safety. Dividend stocks and ETFs provide a safety net for investors. When the dominoes start falling, investors go risk-off and move to lower-risk assets, such as dividend stocks and ETFs. It’s as simple as that. Who would have thought that tech giants such as NVIDIA ( NVDA ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Tesla ( TSLA ), Meta ( META ), Amazon ( AMZN ) and the like couldn’t trade at 50 to 100 times earnings forever? Exactly. Frothy valuations, concerns with AI taking down the software companies, and the capital expenditures that the Mag 7 are taking on are bringing down the majority of the stock market. For reference, the Mag 7 made up 35%-45% of the S&P 500; keep that in mind. If you buy Vanguard’s VOO , like I do daily, you are buying a good chunk of the Mag 7.
