COMMENT

Industrial REITs The market down turn only increases the value of warehouse REITs. Supply chains are going to see dramatic changes post pandemic. Having a 7% yield in a company that can still grow is good. He holds WIR.

WEAK BUY

All the REITs have generally sold off in unison. There are probably going to be both winners and losers going forwards. The losers will be those with more office space. Industrials should not be as affected. The yield and payout ratio look fine and it trades below its book value. Of the bunch, he would prefer this one over commercial REITs.

COMMENT

Dream has been a very good performer in a very good space. It is still a little over valued at this level. He prefers WPT instead.

DON'T BUY

As an Industrial property REIT, it is in a really good space. He tends to avoid companies with external management contracts. This may not make management be in alignment with shareholders -- "two for me; one for you". He has others he favours in the industrial space.

DON'T BUY

His preference is to, rather than going into one particular name, he would go to a REIT ETF. There are several equal weight ETFs that do this. Get a basket of real estate trusts.

HOLD

Dream Office vs. Dream Industrial Never a fan of Dream Office, which had a lot of Alberta exposure. He prefers the industrial side, which has performed better and faces little competition; there are only 3-4 industrial REITs in Canada. Hold both, don't buy or sell.

WATCH

These industrial REITs have all done really well. CAP rates are moving down. It is the growthier area of the sector. They have a big focus on Germany and Western Europe, where there are issues right now. (Analysts’ price target is $16.15)

HOLD

He likes the industrial space and is reasonably valued. A nice yield.

COMMENT

He does not own this one, but really likes the space. It has had a good go over the past 6 months. They are trying to expand into the US by selling some of their eastern Canadian assets. Their vacancy rates are near record lows. However, he sees their move into the US being a little late and feels they over-distribute their cash. He would prefer WPT.U-T.

BUY

Dream Industrial REIT vs. BPY Dream is a good asset in a good space with a decent valuation. He likes it, but he prefers BYP for its global focus and better long-term growth. BPY trades at a good valuation. He prefers BPY, but you can buy both.

BUY

This is an interesting story. Industrial rental spaces are in short supply. Value creation will be as they renew leases and lease rates go up. He likes the yield. They just made an acquisition.

WATCH

An industrial REIT? The industrial warehouse sector is in high demand and a growth area in the next decade. He's watching this closely. These stocks have done well and recommends Dream.

BUY

Not many warehouses. He likes Summit Real Estate Investment (SMU.UN-T) more given their stronger presence in the GTA. Still it is a safe bet now for a long-term investor in a sector that is growing. One of the lower growth names in the sector but definitely likes the sector.

COMMENT

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.

BUY

This sector is doing incredibly well. In the REIT space, industrial properties are benefiting from the technological move, because they can demand really good sized rents if they have the proper facilities. That is growing quite well versus retail or office, which are really having problems.
