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

COMMENT

This REIT has struggled since inception. Payout ratio is over 100%, which is usually a negative. Put itself up for sale unsuccessfully last year. Expect someone will take the business out as it has good assets. Hard to tell if there will be a cut in distributions.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) At this level it looks attractive. Has consistently missed on its earnings to cash flow but he would buy it here.

DON'T BUY

Seniors residences. Ha more activity than most. Has expanded a lot. Been a huge disappointment at times because of numbers. Because they don't fit the REIT criteria they will have to restructure. Have set themselves up to be taken over. An area that very few companies have made any money at. Given the yield on it, it is Buyer Beware.

BUY

Owner/operator of seniors housing facilities. Mainly independent living and assisted living through Canada and the US. Missed on their quarterly numbers for a number of quarters in a row and will not qualify as a REIT going forward and will be taxable. At these levels, you are getting a significant discount to NAV. If you Buy start lightening your position at around $12.

HOLD

There has been a lot going on in the seniors housing space this year. Trading at around 11X AFFO. They are over distributing. Has been a growth by acquisition. Have a very good platform in the US and Canada, however have not been able to grow accretively on a per unit basis. There is potential for a distribution cut.

HOLD

One of the names that is really in a “show me” mode now. Has been a perennial disappointer in growing its cash flows and managing its payout ratios. Starting to see some better metrics. Acquisition program is starting to slow down and seeing some decent growth in same property Net Operating Income.

HOLD

Beneficial stable interest rates have had an inverse negative affect on stock price, cant figure this out. An excellent place to be. As the price decreases its likely someone will come and take company because it’s a great longer term business. Like management and longer term demographics. 10.5% yield.

COMMENT

They had been trying to sell and had 3 reliable bidders, but they all walked away. He sold his holdings at that time. Hasn't followed this in the last month or so.

COMMENT

Retirement housing with homes in Canada and the US. Because of rapid growth, they’ve had difficulty with some of their G & A costs. Partnered with a large firm in the US. As the valuation has come down, it is becoming more interesting. Could be sold or privatized in the next 2 years.

HOLD

Not been fans of these guys, because they keep on expanding and expanding but they are disappointing on their numbers. They need to reorganize because they are no longer considered a REIT. Their payout is more then 100%. Your chances of losing here are limited.

HOLD

Has declined over the last several weeks since they announced there is no sale in the cards. They are in a “show me” mode here. Had been on a big acquisition binge and had not focused on bringing their operations into line.

WEAK BUY

Has constantly disappointed people with its earnings. Have been for sale for a long time. Retirement category is supposed to be wonderful but hardly anyone makes money at it. On extreme weakness like today, he buys. Paying out more than its earnings. 8% yield could be cut back.

DON'T BUY

Got caught very big with the income trust changes and not qualifying as a REIT. Would like to sell off income assets in order to qualify. There have been no takers. Have a big tendency to disappoint on earnings.

TOP PICK

Seniors housing space is going to continue to have very good fundamentals driving it. With recent acquisitions, it has moved into the #3 spot in North America.

TOP PICK

Very good set of assets. Management team is one of the best in the business. Undervalued.
