"Dippy Buying?"
David Auerbach
February 18, 2026
Tell Your REIT Story Visually…
Investor expectations are rising.
REIT Leadership must communicate vision, progress, and momentum with clarity.
What if we could turn REIT stories and focus into cinematic proof built for capital markets, tenants, and the public arena?
Across the industry, buy-side and sell-side leaders are signaling the same shift:
* REITs must explain their strategy, progress, and value with a 2026 mindset.
* Modern investor relations requires more than charts & filings; it demands narrative clarity and visual proof.
BAND helps REIT leadership show what’s changing, why it matters, and where momentum is building.

Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on “buying the dip” as the AI back-and-forth continues for another day. Busy economic calendar ahead as well.
From Bloomberg
"US stock futures rose as dip-buyers stepped in after a spell in which concerns over artificial intelligence drove sharp swings in equity markets. Gold climbed back above $4,900 an ounce.
S&P 500 contracts strengthened 0.5%, a move that would mark the biggest advance for the index in more than a week if it holds. Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.7%, with broad premarket gains across software names and AI heavyweights. Europe’s Stoxx 600 hit a record high following a slate of positive earnings. Bitcoin steadied.
After months of gains fueled by optimism over AI, equity markets have turned cautious amid a clash between disruption fears and doubts that heavy spending will yield meaningful returns. The setbacks in US stocks have prompted investors to look elsewhere, with European and Asian benchmarks far outpacing the S&P 500 this year."
