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.

Sienna,SIA
BUY
Has a decent growth of 5% with good dividends. They missed on Q2 with an elevated balance sheet but it is trading at a nice 15.4 times valuation. Longterm outlook is good with an aging population. The management team is executing well.
BUY
Excellent long-term hold. Hit this year. Great yield. Has been adding to her position.
BUY

Stock appreciation and dividend growth coming? It's an income stock and has been rangebound this year. In Ontario, the occupancy rate has declined (too much supply). Demand will catch up to supply eventually. They're well-positioned in a good industry driven by demographics (an aging population). There's room to grow. They gradually increase their dividend (4%).

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 11/18, Up 1%) Stock's not doing very much, buy you're getting the yield. Still likes it. Attractive space. Temporary over supply issues this year. Want to increase their occupancy rate back above 90%. Yield is 4%.
BUY
He has owned this for a long time. Pays a nice distribution that grows 2% per year. The stock has not been rising for years likely because of an occupancy issue that is slowing working itself out. It could be bought here as you are getting paid to wait. The demographics are in its favour. Yield 4.1%
HOLD
As a senior housing stock, you want to look at occupancy rates and cash flows. There appears to be more supply, so occupancy rates have dipped below 85%, when normally it has been above 90%. She thinks this will improve over time.
BUY

Chartwell vs. Sienna for growth He likes and owns both. CSH's latest report says their operating income grew an impressive 4.7%, but Sienna's was 5.4%. CSH's and Sienna's growth are 5-5.5%. CSH has a low 64% payout ratio, but Sienna is a little cheaper at 12.7x vs. CSH's 15.6x. They're similar in many ways, but Sienna has more room for multiple expansion/upside. But CSH is slightly safer because it has a bigger cap. Both are in a good space with demographics as a tailwind.

BUY
Largest in Canada. Really likes it. You need to be here for the fundamentals. Baby boomers are providing a tailwind. It is struggling. Very cheap. Trading at discount to NAV. Great time to enter.
BUY
An income stock with an attractive yield. The last little while has seen an overbuild in some markets, so occupancy has decreased, but she's confident this will rise from 91% to 95% in time. It's always traded at a premium vs. its peers. Aging demmographics are on their side. Good management and pipeline of projects. You'll collect a 4% yield plus a few % points. A good long-term hold.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The retirement home space is growing in demand and this company has the market cornered. You want to be selective with how you enter the space. These interest rate sensitive stocks have all surged with the belief the interest rates may be softening. He would watch for a lower entry price.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 16/18, Up 3%) Has long owned this, really an income stock with a yield around 4%. She likes the aging demographic play of seniors' housing. They're the largest player in this space. They can grow by acqusition in Canada and aim for 95% occupancy (9)% now). Ontario penetration is only 5-6% of senior living in these homes--seniors are and will live longer.
TOP PICK
The leader in Canadian seniors housing, a fragmented sector so there's room for growth. CSH holds 10% of this market. She likes this sector for the aging demographics that will need more care. CSH has a good pipeline of projects. Occupancy is 91% and they target 95%. They have started to market their services. Top management. (Analysts’ price target is $16.65)
COMMENT
Chartwell vs Sienna She owns Chartwell and thinks both are in a growing sector -- senior housing. Sienna has a lower level of regulation, compared to Chartwell, due to the former's higher level of long term care facilities. Chartwell holds the largest market share in Canada -- giving them economies of scale. Chartwell's yield is just under 4% and they have a good pipeline to develop future growth.
HOLD
Good place to hide and collect the dividend. Not a growth company. Well run, the demographics are with you. Won't be an $18 stock anytime soon.
BUY
Very well managed company. Attractive space. We all live longer and there will be increasing demand for what they offer. They don't do any home care that is more open to potential liability. They have a good pipeline to grow over the next couple of years with an attractive distribution yield of around 4%. This is actually a good entry point for this stock.
