Are NMRK and PECO both Real Estate stocks?

Yes — both Newmark Group, Inc. (NMRK) and Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (PECO) operate in the Real Estate sector. That makes this a direct sector-peer comparison, which is the apples-to-apples way to use the Buffett-Fit framework: the score weighs each stock against its sector's specific quality and valuation benchmarks (sector-relative bonus), so the cross-stock comparison isn't distorted by inter-sector base-rate differences.
