Dream Office REIT (D.UN-T) has garnered attention for its focused portfolio primarily located in downtown Toronto, which is appealing mainly to smaller tenants. Experts express optimism regarding a potential recovery in the office market, suggesting that conditions are becoming favorable. The stock is considered inexpensive at present; however, the overall yield has seen a reduction to about 6%. The potential for a single asset to significantly enhance leasing activity could drive further appreciation in stock value. Investors should weigh these prospects against the current yield, which remains attractive yet lower than previous levels.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Undervalued

Similar

Crombie, CSM.UN

WAIT

The run up from $24 was impressive for D.UN-T. He does not own individual real estate -- he holds XRE-T instead. He would like to see it consolidate at these levels for a while before buying.

HOLD

He owns quite a few of the Dream stocks. They have done well. US investors must be looking up here. The real estate market is really strong. Anytime he has sold a really good company on valuation he has regretted it.

HOLD

A few years ago they were paying out too high a dividend relative to cash flow. Once they reduced the dividend it has now moved back to book value around $27. It still has decent upside potential. Technically it could slip down to $22. Yield 3.57%

HOLD

In the past three years, they've sold $3 billion of assets. Now, they're concentrated on downtown Toronto--so this is a great way to play this area. A few years ago they trimmed their dividend and they won't increase it soon. Bay St. Village with future renovations looks promising. It's fairly valued now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 01/19, Down 0.7%) They are not very active in raising equity, so they are off the radar for many investors. The CEO is buying their stock in massive amounts. This is great signal of support for the future business opportunities. The Toronto office market is very strong. He would continue to hold this.

COMMENT

On quite a ride. Sold assets to right size the balance sheet and buy back shares. Left with a core Toronto office portfolio. Investing in lobby renovations, which adds value. Dividend is well covered. For growth, this is the year you want to own it. Fairly valued. But what's the alternate plan for it?

DON'T BUY

Not a fan of the Management. They are focused in Alberta. He doesn't like office also. He prefers industrial.

TOP PICK

The CEO has been buying a lot of this stock. They have shrunk the portfolio. They have not yet announced their overall plans for the portfolio. A lot of NAV estimates are not giving credit to this. He thinks the company is setting up to be sold. (Analysts’ price target is $26.00)

COMMENT

D.UN vs DRG.UN D.UN isn't cheap at 19.2x. It's improved its asset base to higher quality, focusing on Toronto. Decent 6% growth. They've already had their big move though. DRG.UN has room to go, in contrast. It's a play on Germany and Holland. He see grow and slightly lower growth, but a much cheaper valuation than D.UN AT 14.5x. Similar balance sheets. Safe payout ratio. He prefers D.UN.

HOLD

This is a hidden gem although it has had its challenges a few years ago. The CEO took the big steps back then and they are well positioned today as a result. They are focused on Toronto, which has seen tremendous growth and getting big rents.

BUY

They manage and own about 25 million square feet in Canada. They have a strong balance sheet. It is getting respect from the market now. They did a share buyback at the beginning of the year. They divested some of their US assets at the beginning of the year. He has a $26 target on it.

COMMENT

It struggled for a few years, because the industrial market hadn't taken hold, but now it's in the right place at the right time. Warehouses need to fulfill for customers, and Dream is in the right spot. External managerment's equity raises will dilute share value, which displeases him though.

DON'T BUY

Dream Office vs. Dream Industrial REIT? Dream has been on a rollercoaster the last four years: overexposed to Alberta, sold Scotia Plaza, trying to diversify within Alberta; onerous management contracts to buy out. They're a work-in-progress with better days ahead. He would lean towards the Industrial REIT, but still expensive though it's outperformed Office REIT, but he just doesn't trust it.

SELL

They are doing a second big buyback of their stock. He does not own any of the REITs because there is generally a lot of debt on their balance sheets. He would accept a buyout. It has been a well run company but the sector has some headwinds.

COMMENT

All the REITs are going through a bit of metamorphosis, and the industrial REITs are no different, particularly with the trade talks that have been going on. With the changing pattern of logistics of shipping and transport, a lot of these properties are in play, and a lot of investors have stepped back with the appearance of interest rates going up.
