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.

Consensus

Avoid

Valuation

Overvalued

Similar

Crombie, CDR.UN

BUY

Primarily in Western Canada and split between industrial, office and retail. Payout ratio is coming below 100%. Good exposure to economies where in place rents are below market-rents. Good management.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 15/07. No change.) Had a distribution increase. Started to recycle some assets with tremendous gains. Excellent leasing velocity in terms of roll-ups. Expecting near-term volatility, so buy on weakness. Yielding over 8% on a free cash flow basis. Leasing for the next 7 quarters looks very strong.

TOP PICK

Tremendous leasing spread in the Calgary office market. 70% of their leasing has already been done. Tremendous free cash flow growth. If you Buy under $16, you can expect double-digit returns year over year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 4/07. Up 2%.) Great exposure to Western Canada. Made several acquisitions in the last year. Good management. Some low rents are due for renewal. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top pick, February 16, 2007. Down 11%) Has done nothing wrong. Excellent balance sheet. Trading at an 8.5% free cash flow yield. Undervalued.

TOP PICK

Was a past top pick, still likes it. Their results reported today were very strong. Very sustainable payout ratio, about 85%. Exposure to the western economy. $30 mil of cash on the balance sheet. A great name.

TRADE

(Guest Comment) Product focus is commercial real estate, in western Canada. Earnings per share have increased. Have done good things with money. Debt to market value is close to 40%. No liquidity risks.

TOP PICK

Office/industrial and retail based in Western Canada. The idea is to own B assets in A markets and A assets in B markets. Tremendous internal growth with leasing spreads at 79%. Discount to NAV. Strong internal management.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 13/07. Down 10% including distributions.) There has been concern about the Alberta economy, which has resulted in this stock selling off. GP and income growths in Alberta continue to lead the nation. Their ability to mark rents to market is well above their industry peers.t

BUY

A quality name. Think Canadian commercial real estate will continue to do very well.

TOP PICK

Western Canadian diversified REIT, office, industrial and retail. 25% of their portfolio has rents rolling over in offices. A lot of their rents are anywhere from 30% to 65% below market, so even if there is a slowdown in Alberta with rents dropping 15%, there is still a lot of upside. 2/3 of their operating income is out of Alberta. Trades at about 24% of its NAV. 8.1% yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 16/07. Down 16%.) Great quality name. Suffered from perception of a slowdown in Western Canada. Still significant internal growth through lease renewals. 7.8% distribution should be safe. Still a Buy.

COMMENT

Specialized in retail with most of their assets in Alberta and are right in the sweet spot in Alberta's economy. Because of the credit blow out, institutions generally migrate to large cap REITs and avoid small caps.

TOP PICK

Office, industrial and retail in Manitoba to B.C. More of a tactical call. Even if concerned about a slowdown in Western Canada, the portfolio in Calgary is almost fully occupied and rents are so far below market that even if rents rolled down 20%, you would still get significant internal cash flow growth.

BUY

Stock price has held up very well. There is expectation that someone, including Dundee (D.UN-T) will take them over. Have a lot of Alberta properties.
