I'm holding losing position in ARE. Government cutbacks in funding research, firing NIH employees, etc. may limit demand for AME research facilities. I'm holding the pharma stocks I have and ARE, but not willing to add more right now.

Still holding INMD, FMC, UPS. Teency add to MTW tracking position. Also SIRI (Sirius XM). JXN, CLF.

I like AER (aircraft lessor) at current price. Small add to a small position. Looking to start BA (Boeing) if it'll drop closer to low.

Been adding to CCL (Carnival). Bookings seem to be fine.

Will likely add more PLM around this level.

As you add to chemicals DD, DOW, I add (a little to LYB (tracking position). I suspect there might be a problem with LYB though if enough of its feedstock (oil) comes from S. America.

FMC. Tad more add this morning to my tracking position. Insider buying around this price, good div. (as of today, anyway), profitable, relatively low p/e.

RE: Alexandria Real Estate Equities

Despite this News about cuts, I continued to add to ARE w/ a 15% add to my position I am building; I am looking for a minimum 30% CAGR in 18 months (or a $115/share price target); 6.79% dividend while you wait.

Leaked White House Document Reveals Monster Budget Cut Proposal For Federal Health Agencies

The Trump administration could slash roughly one-third of the federal government’s bloated health budget, a leaked White House proposal shows.

The proposal, part of President Donald Trump’s broader push to curb government waste, would eliminate billions in annual spending and reign in a sprawling bureaucracy that employs 82,000 workers across 10 regional offices, with average salaries of $100,000 plus generous benefits
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


According to Perplexity AI, there would be little to no impact from the proposed cuts detailed above.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE) derives its tenant income primarily from life science and technology clients rather than government agencies. According to their 2024 reports:

  • Top 20 tenants (investment-grade or publicly traded companies) generate 69% of annual rental revenue, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.0 years (excluding ground leases) 2.

  • No specific percentage of revenue from government grants/agencies is disclosed in their filings, but sector breakdowns show 21% from life science, 17% from technology, and smaller allocations to professional services/finance 2.

Lease terms for ARE’s tenants typically include long-duration commitments, with development projects often securing leases 7–10 years before completion 1. The firm’s “mega campuses” account for 69% of its value-creation pipeline, emphasizing stable, private-sector clients 1.

Regarding potential impacts from federal budget cuts:

  • The leaked proposal targeting health agencies (e.g., FDA/CDC cuts) 6 would likely not directly affect ARE, as their tenant base isn’t heavily reliant on federal health agencies.

  • Indirect risks could arise if broader federal downsizing reduces demand in regions like Alexandria, VA, where the city’s economy partially depends on federal grants 4. However, ARE’s focus on life science clusters (e.g., Boston, San Francisco) and long-term leases insulates it from short-term federal volatility 1 2.

In summary, ARE’s revenue appears insulated from the specific federal health cuts mentioned, given its client mix and lease structures.
