Beijing has banned the sale or lease of UAVs and 17 designated “core components” to any person or organisation unless granted public security approval, according to the regulation approved by the municipal legislative body on Friday.

Getty Images Market volatility is back in full swing, with fear now ruling the market, given uncertainties around AI disruption and higher oil prices due to the Iran war. That’s why it’s now more important than ever to focus on quality companies with durable income streams. Dividends and quality assets can greatly help to guard against portfolio losses. This brings me to Federal Realty Investment Trust ( FRT ), which is a Dividend King that has weathered countless macroeconomic events over its 50+ consecutive years of increasing payouts. I last covered FRT back in October 2025, highlighting its premier portfolio with robust leasing and strong rent growth. My investment thesis appears to have been validated by the 4.5% total return since my last piece, far outpacing the 5.4% decline in the S&P 500 ( SPY ) over the same timeframe. At the current price of $103, FRT trades comfortably below its 52-week high of $111 with a 4.4% dividend yield. FRT Stock 1-Yr Trend (Seeking Alpha) In this article, I revisit FRT including recent business results , and discuss why it’s currently a sound ‘buy’ for safety, value, and income, so let’s get started! Why FRT? Federal Realty Investment Trust is a retail REIT that owns high-quality open-air shopping centers and mixed-use properties in affluent, supply-constrained markets across the U.S. FRT’s strategy centers around “dominant” assets in strong suburban locations, often complemented by residential and office components that enhance traffic and long-term value. This is supported by favorable population demographics, with an average 3-mile radius household income of $167K. It also happens to have a 3-mile average population of 167K. As shown below, FRT’s 3-mile population density and median household income compare favorably to those of its open-air shopping center peers like Regency Centers ( REG) and Kimco Realty ( KIM ). Investor Presentation At present, FRT owns 103 open-air properties covering 29 million square feet of commercial...

Bill passes by 213 to 203 votes in move prolonging weeks-long budget standoff that has disrupted travel US House Republicans rejected a bipartisan Senate deal to temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security and instead passed their own funding measure late Friday, extending a weeks-long budget standoff that has disrupted travel. The stopgap bill, which proposes funding the DHS in full for eight weeks, passed by 213 to 203 votes after Republicans in the lower chamber refused to take up a Senate-passed deal that excluded money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images Quarterly commentary 1,2 - Market review and outlook U.S. stocks gained 2.66% in the fourth quarter, according to the S&P 500 Index, extending a historically fast rebound that began in early April, but at a slower pace. The advance was supported by strong corporate fundamentals, a resilient economy, an ongoing boom in spending on artificial intelligence, and the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed's) interest rate reductions of 0.25% in October and December. Amid this favorable backdrop for higher-risk assets, the index closed the year just shy of its all-time high. Value stocks modestly outpaced growth in Q4, while large caps had only a slight advantage over small caps, as investors' appetite for risk waned versus the prior three months. In the fourth quarter, the index's narrow advance was driven by the defensive-oriented healthcare sector (+12%), which particularly shined in November. The growth-oriented communication services sector rose about 7%, benefiting from the transformative potential of generative AI. All other groups lagged the index. Notably, IT, which represented 35% of the S&P 500 Index in Q4, rose about 1%. International developed-market stocks advanced 4.89%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index. The discrepancy between value and growth stocks was more pronounced in this index, again in favor of value over growth. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index notched a 4.72% rise. South Korea (+27%) and Taiwan (+10%) were two strong components with sizable representation in this index, bolstered by the strength in technology stocks in those markets. On the other hand, China finished the quarter with a roughly -7% return, giving back some of its gains since the April bottom. U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds gained 1.1% in the fourth quarter, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Quarterly performance was fueled by a combination of elevated starting yields and price appreciation, as bond prices rose amid falling int...

The last few years have been absolutely fantastic for stock investors. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) produced a total return of 86% between 2023 and 2025. That's a 23% co al return. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) climbed even faster, up 127%, as companies tied to the growth of artificial intelligence led the stock market higher. But investors have started to fear that the market has overextended itself at this point. Valuations have moved steadily higher over the last three years, and the durability of company earnings has been called into question in 2026. Ironically, investors are now worried about the potential negative effect that AI will have on future earnings for some industries. Still, the market's overall valuation remains fairly high as confidence deteriorates. Billionaire Bill Ackman, who focuses on buying undervalued stocks for his hedge fund Pershing Square, shared his thoughts on the current market valuation in his most recent letter to shareholders. His conclusion might surprise you. Continue reading
