Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH.UN) is well-regarded among industry experts for its strong positioning within the growing seniors housing market. With an aging population and ongoing shortage of retirement homes, CSH's occupancy rates are robust, exceeding 95%. Analysts anticipate double-digit compounded annual earnings growth through 2028, supported by increasing margins and a focus on private-pay retirement options. However, some concerns about high P/E ratios were expressed, especially compared to peers like Sienna. Despite this, the overall sentiment points to a favorable outlook, considering the company's aggressive growth strategy through acquisitions and development.

HOLD
Senior housing. Do not qualify as a REIT under government regulations and are moving into a taxable situation due to expansion. Had been sellers when the stock was higher.
BUY
Does not qualify as a REIT under the government legislation. Have been raising money and expanding. Good operation with a fairly good yield.
HOLD
Seniors housing, so will not qualify as a REIT under the government's legislation. We'll become a business trust with a 4-year tax holiday. Operations seem to continually be a difficulty for the sector.
HOLD
Has struggled with some operating issues. Very high growth oriented. Seniors’ housing is a business that she likes longer-term, but a challenge they face is their fast growth creating high expenses. 2008 will be a relatively good year for them.
HOLD
Have retirement properties in both Canada and US. Operating costs have been higher than expected in the last 2 quarters.
BUY
A seniors-housing REIT. Focuses primarily on independent and assisted living. Have a great joint venture with the US firm. This is a “ buy and hold” for the long-term. Good management.
HOLD
ING Realty Investors are rumoured to be interested in this as a takeover. The company has made some recent acquisitions that are attractive. The market has some uncertainty as to how the government will treat this REIT. Feels it is expensive.
TOP PICK
Seniors’ housing provider. 7% yield. If you have a long-term time horizon, you can make 8%-10% a year.
BUY
A seniors housing REIT. A large growing portfolio in the US. This is a very fragmented market and they are making a lot of accretive acquisitions. Leverages the little higher than normal. Expect them to grow into their payout ratio. Looking for distribution increase towards the end of the year.
WEAK BUY
Has made some major acquisitions, of which, one has not performed well. This is probably something worthwhile looking at. The worst is probably already in the market. They'll have to do something to do with their structure. Has potential, but more risk than others.
BUY
Long-term care industry in Canada and US. Had brought 3 companies together and had some issues with operating costs, but he thinks they have a legitimate chance of bringing this under control. Sees good growth opportunities in the US and somewhat in Canada.
COMMENT
New trust rules say that to qualify as a REIT, 75% of the properties have to be in Canada. Also, only 5% of your overall revenue stream is coming from management fees. There’s ways around this. Retirement businesses are very highly regulated.
COMMENT
REITs are up about 5% since the Oct 31/06 announcement as most are excluded from the new legislation. Those that aren’t are quite capable of restructuring. Will continue to be pressure until the rules are clarified.
COMMENT
Announced a number of major acquisitions following the 2nd quarter. Stock price down because market expected it would be funded through a new issue. Past couple of quarters were weaker than expected. Takes a while to integrate the acquisitions. Doesn’t qualify on the REIT tax exemption.
BUY
A seniors housing REIT. An external acquisition story. Their unit price has suffered because in doing their acquisitions, they haven't realized as much value in the accretions as some thought they would. Good yield. Expect that growth will outperform going forward.
