DEA - Easterly Government Properties: The Long-Term Treasury Bond Of REITs

• DEA owns Class A-quality properties specially designed for tenancy by federal government agencies and departments.
• DEA's stock price acted much like a Treasury bond during the initial market disruption in Spring, 2020.
• And why shouldn't it? Leases are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
• As the finances of the federal government erode, more government-owned properties may become government-leased properties, giving DEA more acquisition opportunities.
• However, DEA is vulnerable to rising interest rates.
