Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH.UN-T) is seen positively by experts, primarily due to the compelling market dynamics driven by an aging population in Canada and a limited supply of retirement homes. Analysts highlight the company's strong occupancy rate of over 95%, its ability to increase rents in line with growing demand, and its strategy of growth through acquisitions, raising concerns only about its reliance on treasury stock issuance for financing. While some experts acknowledge high volatility in the stock and its elevated price-to-earnings ratio compared to peers, they remain bullish on long-term growth prospects propelled by demographic trends. Overall, Chartwell is positioned as a leading player in the private-pay retirement sector, reflected in its projected increases in earnings and occupancy rates, with strong support from the market.

Sienna, SIA.UN

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Historically has not like this name but they changed management, de-levered balance sheet and cut distributions twice. Assets are good, so stepped in after 2nd cut and has done very well. Try to get in the $7’s.

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.
