Artis Real Estate Investment Trust (AX.UN-T) is currently facing significant criticism from various experts for its ongoing challenges. The recent announcement indicates that the company will be sold at a substantial 44% discount to its intrinsic value, which raises alarms about its financial health and future prospects. Furthermore, the shift from monthly to quarterly distributions, and the considerable reduction in payouts, signal potential liquidity issues that investors should be cautious about. The company's current structure is under scrutiny, particularly as it plans to go private without any premium, leading to a largely unfavorable market reaction. Despite its diversification across office, retail, and industrial sectors in Canada and the U.S., institutional investors typically shy away from diversified REITs, and concerns have emerged regarding its balance sheet, compelling it to sell off valuable assets.

Similar

Crombie, CDR.UN

TOP PICK

Commercial/diversified. Office, industrial, retail. Have expanded out of their Western Canadian beginnings into Ontario and then into the US. Have never had a quarter of negative same property net operating income. Cheap and offers you 16%-17% total return.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Have been doing a lot of accretive acquisitions. Acquisitions are going to be a little less meaningful going forward but he likes the stock.

TOP PICK

Western oriented REIT. Good dividend of just under 7%. Just did a capital raise of about $130-$150 million giving them a war chest for potential acquisitions. Trading at a discount to its peers. Will probably be taken out.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes it. Great management team focused out west. Now making progress in US. The bigger play is the valuation in the whole sector. As they keep rolling, their cost of funds will get cheaper and cheaper. Wait for a 10% pullback.

BUY

Dividends are sustainable. We’ve seen a huge change in fundamentals across the board. That is manifesting itself through the office sector. Rents are starting to roll a lot higher. Good exposure to western Canada. You want to hang onto it. Ability to grow AFFO and distribution.

COMMENT

Commercial diversified portfolio. Have expanded out of their Western Canadian base into Ontario and now into the US. Masterful management. Payout ratio is about to fall below 100. Leverage has been reduced materially. He wouldn't be a buyer at this price.

DON'T BUY

Has grown very quickly but not as prudently as it could have. Considers that as a #2 rate so wouldn't be the 1st choice for her.

HOLD

Nothing wrong with these guys. They are about 66% office in about 70% in the 4 western provinces. Payout ratio is okay but maybe should come down a little bit more.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Increasing exposure to the US. Going to internalize but they have bought billions of dollars of real estate with external management.

WEAK BUY

About 108%-110% payout ration and Q4 next year it will be sub-100% payout. Bough assets in clusters. Would be concerned about one-up assets they bought. Worries about variable rate debt but interest rates are going nowhere soon.

BUY

Very fragmented. They are planning on internalizing management. Management is okay. They have a mixture and are diversified. They aren't among the best. High yield.

HOLD

Diversified commercial. Focused in Western Canada, a little bit in Ontario and a growing portfolio in the US, particularly Minnesota. Wouldn't be an aggressive buyer at this time. Trading around its NAV. Over distributing at about 110%.

BUY

Are now across the country with a little bit in the US whereas they were too much in Calgary at one point. Payout ratio is a little bit above 100. Higher yield of 8.3%. Wouldn’t put all your money into this.

BUY

He likes the company and the management. Office and retail out west. Starting to get into US. It is at the right price point. Dividend is aggressive, payout more than they make, but they are working through that. You are going to get the dividend bit that is about it. Not too over levered. Likes it.

DON'T BUY

On aggressive acquisition program and quality of what they are acquiring is mixed. In process of internalizing management contract, but it has taken them a long time. Better opportunities in the REIT space.
