Highlights:

- Prologis’ net earnings per diluted share of the company in Q3 2022 were US$ 1.36.
- American Tower has a dividend yield of 2.811 per cent.
The economic headwinds impacted the real estate sector in 2022 like all other sectors. The slump in the industry is understandable due to rising interest rates by the Central Bank, a dip in demand, and a shortage of supply in new housing last year. So far, the market seems normal in 2023, but it is too early to predict anything.
In this article, we look at two US real estate stocks and their recent activities, financials, etc., in the past quarter:
American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT)
American Tower has more than 220,000 cell towers across the US, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. The company also has and operates 25 data centers functioning in eight US markets after it bought CoreSite.
