Keefe Bruyette analyst Jade Rahmani upgraded Ares Commercial (ACRE) to Outperform from Market Perform with a price target of $5.50, up from $4.75. The firm adjusted ratings in the real estate sector as part of its 2026 outlook. Keefe expects the commercial real estate cycle to enter a “more secure recovery phase with moderate yet still healthy growth” in 2026. This favors commercial real estate services names and “high-quality” commercial mortgage real estate investment trusts, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
