Artis Real Estate Investment Trust (AX.UN-T) has recently been subject to negative evaluations from experts, primarily due to its decision to go private at a zero premium. This move has led to significant concern in the market, reflected in its current trading at a hefty 44% discount to its perceived integral value. The distribution shift from monthly to quarterly payments, and a notable reduction in those payments, further exacerbates investor wariness. Additionally, with the underlying structure described as peculiar and the company categorized as small with limited institutional investment, the outlook appears bleak. Overall, experts express strong skepticism about its future prospects, indicating that investors should proceed with caution and consider avoiding this stock altogether.

COMMENT

Grown significantly over the last year through acquisitions. Raised a lot of capital. Challenge is that incentive of management is to grow as opposed to creating shareholder value. This is going to change as they are going to internalize it. Trying to create as much pipeline is possible before year-end.

COMMENT

8% yield but high payout ratio. Made extensive use of available credit and expanded in many areas. Over a longer period, the assets they bought are solid. Long-term hold.

BUY

Looking at this one, which is 100% return of capital. Diversified REIT. Yield of about 8%.

BUY

Higher income situation. Checkered career. Diversified everywhere. Haven’t been focused. All over the place, including US. They look disorganized but more and more people are seeing they aren’t. Relatively high yield.

BUY

Office and retail space, mainly out West. Great management. Likes their acquisition strategy in Minnesota. Have come off and this is a great buying opportunity. Yield of about 8.5%.

BUY

Trimmed his holdings when it went over $14 but was one of a few names he was purchasing today because of a big hit it took today.

BUY

Specializes in offices out west and Manitoba but are expanding into Minnesota. Very good managers. Doesn't see much capital gain but getting close to getting below the 100% of the payout level in 2012. 7.7% yield.

HOLD

Strong management, but not aligned to the degree they would like. External management and market has been waiting for them to internalize. Issued hundreds of millions of dollars. Would like to see management own more units. Overpaying their distribution, but will grow into it.

COMMENT

Office, Industrial and Retail properties. Basically western Canada but last year expanded into Ontario and US. Strong portfolio. Purchased a couple of one-off assets that he is not thrilled with. Thrilled with what they have done in Minnesota. Can’t see a ton of upside from here but ok for a long term yield play.

BUY

Artis is a company that is focused out in Western Canada. They have done well and management is pretty solid. A problem with Artis is that they pay out more than what comes in but this has improved over the last year. They are now focusing on expanding in Minnesota and Arizona. Thinks that they will make a "go of it" in regards to acquisitions in the U.S.

HOLD

Have grown phenomenally quickly. He has taken a little profit. High yield.

BUY

Focuses on office/industrial, basically in western Canada, especially Manitoba. Have started to expand into Minnesota. Good managers and good at squeezing profitability. Distributes more than what is coming in but is a lot less than what it was.

BUY

Thinks it is a dangerous decision to invest because of yield. He likes this one. Likes that they are focused on Western Canada. Appears that US properties are compelling.

COMMENT

Expect the REIT market is going to return about 15% over the next year. There are larger and safer names like Riocan (REI.UN-T), H&R (HR.UN-T) and Cominar (CUF.UN-T). Has done a fantastic job growing their business over the last couple of years but is a perpetual issuer of capital, which affects the performance on the market. (See Top Picks.)

TOP PICK

Liked for a number of years. Trading at a discounted multiple right now. Would expect to generate 14-15% returns (all in) this year. Growing free cash flow per unit.
