Experts have mixed views on Extendicare Inc. (EXE-T) as it navigates the complexities of the long-term care and home healthcare sectors. Many highlight its strong position to benefit from demographic trends and increased funding from the Ontario government, viewing it as an asset-light play with good margin management. However, some caution about the stock being potentially overvalued given the recent bullish movements in the price, suggesting that much of the positive outlook may already be priced in. The company is noted for its unique corporate structure compared to REITs, but concerns about growth potential and competition from private equity investors are prevalent. Despite its appealing business model and post-pandemic recovery, some experts prefer other stocks in the sector, indicating uncertainty about EXE-T's future growth prospects.

TOP PICK

Nursing homes in US and Canada. Some small operational risks in the US because Medicaid and Medicare are struggling so increases are smaller and they have to have good cost controls. Just reported a disappointing quarter because of an insurance factor. Take that out and operations are fine. Don’t have a tax problem. 9% yield.

PARTIAL BUY

Lawsuits in the US have been going on for a long time and not much is known. He has decided to ignore this issue to some extent. 75% holdings in the US. Not one you buy a lot of. Care business in the US is always risky.

BUY

Biggest problem for them is their US exposure and with the US health accord now being printed there are still some unknowns. Margins are improving and probably still has room to grow.

WAIT

A lot of healthcare related ones in the US have done quite well recently. Have some debt they are going to have to roll over. Also have 7-8 lawsuits against them in the US. Reporting their numbers this Thursday.

DON'T BUY

Specialized area. Nursing care. 75% operations in the US, very volatile market with Medicare and Medicaid. Formulas change and a very litigious environment. Would favour a Canadian business such as Leisureworld Senior Care (LW-T) instead.

COMMENT

Long-term care and skilled nursing facilities in Canada and US. Doesn't like the model they are built on because he can't quantify the risks. Good management. 9.7% distribution is safe.

BUY

Nursing homes in the US and Canada. A REIT but is taxable. Balance sheet has improved from a year ago. Beat estimates last quarter. Cheap compared to peers.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Will always be volatile but they know their business.

COMMENT

Was being investigated by the department of health services in the US, for potential violations of the Social Securities act. In the long run, he thinks it will turn out to be overblown so this could be an opportunity.

COMMENT

If holding as a DRIP, is it a reasonable holding to continue with after 2011? If it is a core holding and you are going to keep it for the long term, this can make sense. If you are a trader, it is not worthwhile. A good way for a company to raise capital so he would expect more of them.

WATCH

Looking at this one. The only problem is that so much of it is in the US and you keep hearing what is going to be allowed on expenses, etc. Have a lot of debt.

COMMENT

Not a fan of seniors housing. From a debt/maturity standpoint have access to CMHC financing in Canada. No debt/maturity in the US until 2011 but have about $200 million in 2011-2012, which will be a challenge to replace. On an operational and payout standpoint look sound for now. Wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a pull back. If you are going to buy, average in over the next several months.

WATCH

Companies that are currently structured as REITs will have to come under tighter guidelines to continue to qualify. Business that is held under the REIT unit structure has to be passive in nature so it is a long that borderline. Watch to see what management does.

DON'T BUY

Seniors housing in the US with skilled nursing facilities and long-term care facilities in Canada. Not a lot of debt maturing in the US over the next couple of years and should be able to refinance the debt in Canada. Not a big fan of senior housing because of operational issues.

DON'T BUY

They claim business is going very well. It’s a good organization and it’s going to survive. He goes into others where he has better feel for where the revenue is going to come from.
