PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 21/21, Down 4.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with DIR.UN has triggered its stop at $16. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. Combined with our previous buy recommendation, this results in a 0% net investment gain.

BUY

Industrial focused REIT which he likes due to secular changes post-pandemic involving re-shoring and on-shoring - getting goods as close to the end user as possible. The portfolio is in the EU, US and Canada and is one of the best ways to play Europe. It has a wide discount to net asset value and a nice yield. It remains a buy for him.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our TOP PICK recommendation of DIR.UN. As an industrial REIT it has benefitted from the supply chain needs created by the pandemic. It trades at 9x earnings compared to peers at 38x and is valued at under 1.5x book. It pays a great dividend backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $16. As we continue to view this as a defensive stock, we will hold this under our stop is triggered. (Analysts’ price target is $17.03)

WATCH

Industrial and multi-apartment REITs were beneficiaries of the pandemic. Good assets. Great demand. As it's already done so very well out of the pandemic, he's waiting. He's been shy to own the Dream stocks because he prefers when management is incentivized by profitability.

BUY

Owns properties in Canada, US, and Europe. He's bullish. Still upside, based on valuation. Easy to see NAV north of $17, based on cap rates in the private market. Distribution yield is very safe. A number of tailwinds, including e-commerce as #1. Supply chain reorganization will make rents rise dramatically.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly DIR is a leading dividend payer that will benefit with the re-opening of the economy. It has a great yield, backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. It trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 17x and is valued at just 1.2x book value. Good value here. We would buy this with a stop loss at $12.50. We like this as a defensive holding, so would continue to hold this until it triggers our trailing stop. Yield 4.61% (Analysts’ price target is $15.66)

TOP PICK

Warehouses for E-commerce. It is growing nicely. They just announced an interesting transaction where they will grow their portfolio dramatically. It will become the best North American industrial real estate play you can buy in North America through a publically traded company. The stock has been temporarily depressed by a stock issuance to fund their acquisition. (Analysts’ price target is $15.31)

DON'T BUY

She likes the industrial REITs. They just started acquiring in Europe, but the industrial market is competitive globally. Occupancy has hit a 3-year low at 93% though. They collect rent well and have raised capital recently. This will continue to struggle and they are paying out a lot to maintain its dividend.

HOLD

It is in the right sector. We are in the earlier innings of a whole change in the supply chains. It has recovered off its lows and is a safe hold. Longer term this is a really good stock to own. The distribution is quite safe.
