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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 21/06. Up .08%.) They continue to deliver on the B assets in A locations in western Canada and A assets in B locations. 40% of their portfolio comes up for renewal in the next 3 years. A good entry point.
TOP PICK
70% cash flow coming from western Canada. Excellent management team. Focus on class B buildings in secondary cities, but recently made an acquisition of a good building in Calgary. Looking for distribution increases over the next couple of years as many of their “in-place rents” are below current market and will be raised on renewals.
BUY
Enthusiastic supporter of Artis Reit. Focused on western Canada. 40% of their portfolio is up for maturity in the next 3 years and they are probably anywhere from 30 to 50% below market. Significant internal growth potential. In this pullback they are buyers.
HOLD
Huge Alberta play with secondary quality product. Depends on the economy stained really strong. Recently made a series of acquisitions of higher-quality properties.
COMMENT
Big in Alberta. A lot of relatively new properties with leases below spot market. Good optimism for them to jump yields if Alberta stays strong. Fairly good yield.

BUY
About two thirds of their operating income comes from Alberta. There have been some big rent increases as rents roll over. Strong management.
