The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)
City Office REIT, Inc.
CIO-N
TOP PICK
Dec 17, 2020
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'ReillyCIO is a REIT that holds 5.8 million square feet of rentable area office space mostly in the US southern and western states. Recent earnings of $0.35 per share beat expectations by over 12% and compares to $0.29 a year ago. Holding office property has obviously been a roller coaster during the pandemic; however, with vaccines coming forward, the hope is the worst may be over. It has a great yield backed by a 51% payout ratio. We would buy this with a $7 stop-loss, looking to achieve $12 -- over 24% upside. Yield 6.16% (Analysts’ price target is $12.00)
