Freehold Royalties Ltd (FRU-T) is generally viewed as a stable income-generating investment with a notable dividend yield, attracting attention from various analysts. While the stock has shown an upward trajectory and defensive characteristics, particularly during volatility in oil prices, experts have mixed opinions regarding its long-term viability as a growth stock. Many emphasize that, despite a strong dividend potential, the cyclical nature of the energy sector and a preference for other growth opportunities lead to recommendations for trimming positions. The overall sentiment leans towards cautious optimism, with most experts acknowledging the company's solid performance historically and its potential for sustained dividends, positioning it as a solid choice primarily for income-focused investors. However, some analysts highlight the risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices and suggest alternatives for those seeking higher growth.

COMMENT

Bought this for yield and it held in very, very well. Concerned that it seemed to be defying gravity while the rest of that group was getting hit. Trimmed back on some of his holdings. Thinks the dividend is reasonably secure. They need companies to be drilling on their land.

HOLD

Gets a royalty off oil production on properties they hold. Stock is reflecting the resilience of the business model. His concern is a lack of much more upside for WTI prices. In fact, there is probably a little bit of downside. Key concern would be a big increase in US tight oil production, potentially pressuring North American oil prices. Given where oil prices are in North America, dividend is absolutely safe.

BUY

Oil/gas. Has a kind of a favourable cost structure on royalties. Pays a nice dividend. Probably okay.

COMMENT

Most of these types of stocks in the context of today’s natural gas prices and western Canadian oil prices, are distributing more than they should. In his view, the dividend is too high and will likely be right sized to reflect the current reality of a $20 spread under WTI and a discounted AACO (?) relative to NYMX on natural gas.

BUY

Not a huge growth opportunity but they do add royalties as they go along. Less volatile than oil/gas stocks would be. Pays a good yield of 8.3%. Well managed.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Doesn’t see any catalyst for upside.

BUY

Feels the dividend is reasonably secure. They derive all their revenue from other people’s drilling activity. They simply hold the royalty rights on vast acreages of land in Western Canada. Thinks it will continue to be a long-term great hold. 8.4% dividend yield.

BUY

This is a true royalty trust versus an income trust so they don't have the downside on the cost side. Basically getting a royalty on the production. 9% dividend, which he thinks is safe for the next 2 years.

BUY

About 75% of their revenue comes from royalties. They own the royalty rights across Saskatchewan, Alberta and a little bit in BC. People pay them to drill on their land. Stock price really coincides with oil prices. Kind of a 9% yield way to play oil prices. Very little debt and he feels the dividend is safe.

COMMENT

One of the larger oil/gas royalty companies with significant exposure to the western Canadian sedimentary basin. As oil and gas prices drop, their income drops as well. Assuming flat to higher nat gas and oil prices, he doesn’t think the 9.1% dividend is at jeopardy. On lower oil prices he could see a 20% cut to the dividend.

BUY

Good asset base. The nature of a royalty business, as opposed to a production business, somewhat insulates them from some of the risk factors of costs. Great name, not only because of the current yield, but its ability to grow that dividend as oil prices recover. 9.7% dividend. He is not anticipating any cuts but if oil prices drop further this could change.

HOLD

Not a big producer. Fundamentals are good. If you are willing to continue to hold for a year or longer, you should be OK.

DON'T BUY

Royalty Trust. One step back from the actual drilling. Once of the problems that a trust has is that other people have to come in and be enthused about the job. The price of oil in Alberta has been knocked down. While WTI is in $82 range, Alberta is $60’s and $70’s. He is not rushing in to buy any X-income trusts.

BUY

Excellent company. Pure royalty company in that it does not actually explore or produce oil but holds the royalty interest on a huge land mass. Has consistently paid a very strong dividend. For long-term income with a little bit of upside with stronger oil/gas prices, this is a very decent holding.

WEAK BUY

Has some concern about the business. Horizontal drilling on their properties has higher decline rates. As they decline it will put pressure on the company to go out and make acquisitions. Potential room for dividend increase.
