Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH.UN) is highly regarded by analysts for its solid position within the retirement home sector, driven by favorable long-term demographics. The company focuses exclusively on private-pay retirement homes, which positions it well amidst an aging population facing a shortage of available beds. With an impressive occupancy rate of over 95% and strong growth potential through acquisitions and development, Chartwell is seen as an attractive investment for the next 5-10 years. Many experts highlight its healthy fundamentals, including low expense growth compared to rental increases, which supports its projected double-digit earnings growth rate through 2028. Despite some concerns regarding its high price-to-earnings ratio compared to peers, the overarching sentiment is optimistic about its growth trajectory and the demand for its services.

Valuation

Sienna,SIA

BUY

Seniors housing. Attractively priced. 6.9% yield.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Own primarily independent living and assisted living residences. Really not geared for aging demographics. There is a huge spread between the cash flow and financing costs. Distributions have been cut to a level that are sustainable. Try to buy at around $7.

HOLD

Everyone says that nursing homes and retirement homes is a big growth market but it is a very hard market to make money at. Wouldn't buy if you are a conservative investor because there are risks to it.

HOLD

Has moved up nicely off the bottom from a year ago. Had a couple of distribution cuts so is now down around 7%. Getting to be fairly fully priced.

TOP PICK

This name had tones of turnover – asset sales, management, restructuring and 2 distribution cuts. Access to CMHC financing (4% or better). It’s a consolidation play. They did a good job of managing debt maturity profile. Trading below net asset value.

DON'T BUY

Seniors housing real estate trust. Hasn't performed well in the past few years. A tough industry to be in. Regulations can change quickly.

DON'T BUY

Have cut the distribution and he thinks it was sufficient enough that there shouldn't be a problem. Operations haven't been performing as well as expected. Probably better places to be.

HOLD

Nursing homes. High yield. Has been challenged in the past. New management. A bit of a risky situation but his feeling is that it is going to improve.

COMMENT

Has been an improving story. New numbers will be coming out shortly and he'll have a better feel for it. May be overpaying on its distributions. Had a lot of problems but changed management and are now refocused. He is happy to stay with him and thinks he will add more.

COMMENT

Middle of the road to slightly above in terms of seniors housing. Residents tend to live here on investment portfolios and selling their homes. Homes are declining in value and investment portfolios are still off anywhere from 30% to 50%. He has a “wait-and-see” attitude on this one.

BUY

Seniors housing and have access to cheap CMHC financing. Good play on demographics over the longer term. High-quality assets. Risk/reward is quite good. Leverage is a little bit higher than some of the other REITs.

WATCH

Companies that are currently structured as REITs will have to come under tighter guidelines to continue to qualify. Business that is held under the REIT unit structure has to be passive in nature so it is a long that borderline. Thinks this one can easily restructure so it is not a concern to him. Watch to see what management does.

COMMENT

Owns/operates seniors’ residences in Canada and US giving a regulated and unregulated market. Loan to value is high at around 75% and too aggressive for this environment. Growth strategy will be hard to put in place. If you believe in the demographics, it probably has some value but he prefers a pristine balance sheet.

PARTIAL BUY

Been through a lot including change of management. Vulnerable because their homes are not cheap and they depend a lot on people being able to sell houses. If you own, you could “dollar average” in with a bit more. Recent numbers have been better. Thinks 14% yield is sustainable.

DON'T BUY

Seniors housing with a significant amount of US assets. No debt due you until it 2013. Always seems to be operational issues.
