Welcome back to Bloomberg’s Real Estate Monitor , a weekly breakdown of emerging trends, strategic challenges and blockbuster deals shaping the industry.

We’ll also tell you about how the war in Iran is impacting global housing markets , Spain’s data center rush and billionaire Brad Jacobs’ latest effort to assemble a building products conglomerate through M&A. Let’s get into it. — Patrick Clark Market Snapshot DR Horton Inc $162.20 +5.8% Lennar Corp $94.81 +0.7% TopBuild Corp $469.92 -4.1% Blackstone Inc $128.50 -0.4% Market data as of 09:35 AM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. The big story Mumbai’s Worli neighborhood is a former fishing village transformed into a favored destination for the city’s elite . Financial firms like Barclays, BlackRock and Morgan Stanley have decided that recruiting top talent means leasing the best office buildings, some of which offer striking views of the Arabian Sea. Those white collar workers want to live close to work, to avoid the city’s famous traffic snarls. As a result, local real estate is poised to rise “exponentially beyond imagination,” according to one Indian billionaire. The flip side, he says, is that millions of people will need to be rehoused to clear the way for new development. The process is creating risks for people like Ramu Virmale, a taxi driver who lives in a 100-square-foot hut in a low-income part of Worli. But it’s creating opportunity too: Virmale is negotiating with real estate developers who want to build offices and high-end apartments in his pocket of the neighborhood. In return, he’s asking for modern, if modest, homes for the 3,000 families currently living on the land. “Rich or poor, we should all live with each other,” Virmale says. “We too want clean, good-quality, sea-facing flats. That cannot only be for the r...

While the headline numbers suggest a mild pullback, the picture beneath the surface was much harsher. Software and services led sector level declines. Our exposure in these groups was hit by broad multiple contraction as markets priced AI-related risks. In addition, our holdings in Ag Growth (AFN)( AGGZF ) and Ivanhoe Mines (IVN)( IVPAF ) faced company specific setbacks that further contributed to the drawdown. These pressures were partly offset by strong performance from New Flyer Industries (NFI) and our precious metals basket. Our focus is never on short-term performance. The White Falcon portfolio construction diverges significantly from popular market indexes and our primary benchmark for success is generating positive absolute returns adjusted for risk over a complete market cycle. The volatility during the quarter gave us an opportunity to add positions at more attractive valuations and also improve the overall quality of the businesses we own in the portfolio. As it happens, the market has since mounted a strong V-shaped recovery, and all accounts are now in the positive for the year. The software sector is at an interesting juncture. From here, it is either a fantastic long-term opportunity, or a potential value trap. We think it may be the former and have meaningfully increased our allocation. Below, we describe the framework guiding our investments in software: At its core, software is simply a business...

tang90246 Qorvo ( QRVO ), Skyworks Solutions ( SWKS ), and Seagate Technology ( STX ) were upgraded at Barclays on Wednesday, while the firm also reinstated coverage on Qualcomm ( QCOM ) with a lower rating than it had previously. Qorvo and Skyworks were raised to Overweight from Equalweight, and their respective price targets were raised to $100 from $95, as Barclays analysts said the pair should benefit from some Apple ( AAPL ) decisions. “We called out a significant change in AAPL lower-end SKU launch timing, which likely dampens typically strong seasonal Sept./Dec.,” analysts at the firm wrote. “We now view this dynamic as a 'buy the cut event' with more positive catalysts in foldable iPhones, an [iPhone] 20 anniversary cycle likely to closely follow, and potentially content upgrades if we see all AAPL phones move onto a common internal modem.” Skyworks and Qorvo are in the process of merging . Seagate Seagate was raised to Overweight from Equalweight, as the firm upped its hard-disk drive market forecast. “We think $/TB for Mass Capacity drives can move +7%/+15% [year-over-year] in CY26/27, particularly given the recent run-up in Flash,” the analysts explained. “Given industry dynamics and commitment to lower capital spend we would also argue the re-rating is more permanent.” The firm also raised its price target on competitor Western Digital ( WDC ) to $405 from $325. Qualcomm Finally, for Qualcomm, the firm put an Underweight rating on the semiconductor company, citing a “difficult handset environment.” “Even when giving significant credit to both Auto and IoT the company can't more than offset the difficult handset environment (we est. QCOM Handsets down [low double-digits to mid-teens on a percentage base] over FY26-27) driven by memory headwinds,” the analysts wrote. “AI at the Edge is still several years away and the company's play in the [data center] is yet to be proved out. We wait for the [analyst day] to determine if QCOM is benefiting from the large...
