COMMENT
Has been a terrific story. Likes what they have done with the business. Hasn’t really looked at it lately but the payout ratio is what he would look at. 6.4% yield.
COMMENT
Paid 2 special dividends in the last year. Extremely well managed. Doing a good job and there is a renewed interest in franchising.
HOLD
Great chart technically and has yield support as well. This is a royalty scheme, which is the best kind of trust as it takes the money off the top line. Good yield and good growth.
COMMENT
Has done very well as people have reduced spending and doing more shopping in malls. This is a royalty trust structure and will be very taxable in 2011. 15% distribution.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has been a great performing restaurant royalty trust.
BUY
Reit Fund, a little different structure than other income trusts. A&W restaurants. Protein and wheat prices have moved down so A&W prospects are improving. 18 months until cut in distributions
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Coming under some pressure just like all of the restaurants.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Very strong numbers. Their burgers still do well.
COMMENT
No debt, which in this environment is very attractive. A sustainable business model. Has held in better than many of the others. Would prefer others that are down 20% or 30% because when the market turns around, you will get better returns.
DON'T BUY
When buying an income trust, you look at the underlying business and security of the cash flows. Not sure if their cash flows are strong enough to sustain the distribution. A slowdown in consumer spending, could take people out of the malls.
BUY
Has been growing very well. Very strong management. Same-store sales growth will continue to be modest.
BUY
A revenue royalty trust. The 2nd largest hamburger chain in Canada. Have done very well. A fantastic industry.
BUY
Has a bit of a chequered past in delivering same store sales growth but are definitely in an upswing period right now. Restaurants across the board are doing well. Consumer spending in Canada is strong.
PAST TOP PICK
(Was a top pick on Feb 26. No change, but did have distributions.)
TOP PICK
Aggressively growing.
