PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 31/22, Down 7%)

It is the cheapest industrial warehouse stock so he would still buy. Its ownership of places in Europe caused the stock to drop but that situation is improving. The value of its real estate markets has increased and there is an opportunity for increased rent growth of 40 to 70% in Toronto and Montreal. Trades at a wide discount to NAV

TOP PICK

They are taking over (with a partner) Summit Industrial REIT currently. He values shares at $18, though it's now trading at $12. That takeover partner is a large, foreign and sophisticated entity that saw opportunity and value in both Dream and Summit, so he's quite bullish on Dream. (Analysts’ price target is $15.18)

BUY
If cap rates are moving higher and hurting valuations, it's a buying opportunity for the industrial REIT sector. Space is still undervalued compared to cashflows and potential growth next 2-3 years. We're running out of public industrial REITs to invest in, and DIR.UN will benefit as SMU.UN gets taken out.
BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Industrial REIT exposure. Strong tailwinds and demographic benefit. Solid debt servicing capabilities. North American and European exposure.
BUY
Very popular business in post Covid-19 era (eCommerce demand). Shares have sold off recently. Current share prices presenting good buying opportunity. Valuations much better. Concerns about leverage.
WATCH
Model price of $20.86, upside of 81%. If it breaks below $10.71, big warning that the stock should be sold. Put a stop loss on what you own and if you see $10.50, sell.

WAIT
One of the worst performers. 40% of portfolio is tethered to Europe, Euro's horrible, European region is teetering on recession. 60% is industrial, really strong. Models 10% growth, trading at 13x, so the numbers work. Left behind in recent rally, but that won't be the case once sentiment turns in the next year or so.
DON'T BUY
Shares have fallen with Covid-19 pandemic demand falling. Rising interest rates hitting cost of borrowing. Not a great place to invest right now.
BUY
We're closer to the rate-tightening cycles and near peak yields. So, REITs look good now. It remains a good additional to a portfolio, even with a modest price target of $16.
BUY
Supply/demand factors working in favor of the company (not enough supply of industrial real estate). Great European portfolio of assets as well (not much supply in Europe either). Large cushion with rising rental rates. Valuation is discounted at current share price. Excellent management team. Would recommend buying.
WAIT
Nothing wrong with the business. Hottest segment in real estate right now. Massive demand. Wait, don't chase.
DON'T BUY
Likes the industrial REITs through and post-pandemic. Great assets. Problem is valuation, plus he's never like the external management contract. See his Top Picks.
BUY
E-commerce drives these REITs. Two weeks ago when Amazon reported, these REITS fell 20%, because Amazon said they have built enough capacity. But e-commerce still has a big runway for growth, especially Canada. The space is consolidating now, like Prologis and Blackstone, and he expects more. Rental rates of these industrial spaces continues to rise and the spaces are full. He also likes Summit REIT (he owns), and Granite. Also likes Dream.
TOP PICK
Is in industrial warehouse space in U.S., Canada and Europe with Europe being the most exciting. A good place to be because of e-commerce and the theme 'less miles delivery'.
