66 listed REITs have a market value under $2 billion as of November 6, 2026, ranked here by REIT Rankings grade. REITs on this list graded B or better: 1.
Small-cap REITs get less analyst coverage, which can leave quality names mispriced and weak names under-examined. They also pay more to borrow and can be hit harder when rates rise. The grade column helps sort one from the other.
