This summary was created by AI, based on 15 opinions in the last 12 months.

Freehold Royalties Ltd (FRU-T) has garnered mixed feedback from experts, primarily focusing on its sustainable dividend yield, currently around 7.2-8%. While some analysts see it as a solid hold for income-focused investors, others caution that the company operates in a cyclical market, suggesting that it may not be suitable as a long-term investment. There is acknowledgment of a favorable production trajectory, particularly in the U.S. and significant backing from major clients like XOM. However, concerns about future capital expenditure and the potential for dividends to be trimmed in down markets are prevalent. Despite fluctuations in commodity prices, many believe FRU can deliver stable returns given its royalty model, though not without risks.

COMMENT

An interesting little business. High-quality land and high-quality oil. Some volatility and if you are looking just to park your money, he would look at something with low volatility and consistent returns.

COMMENT

Management has done a good job. Feels the 8.8% dividend can be maintained. If you are in here for income and modest growth, you'll be well looked after.

COMMENT

If energy prices stay where they are, the dividend is sustainable. 3% dividend.

DON'T BUY

Large dividend, what’s the catch? It is over distributing and so it could get cut. Be cautious on this name. Prefers ARC or BTE as safer.

BUY

Trades with the oil markets. Nice cheque collector and pay a lot of that out in yield. If oil gets to $70s there is a chance of a dividend cut. Their tax losses run out next year so might have to tweak dividend a little bit. A pension plan might want to just buy it.

BUY

Good management and good sponsorship from Canadian National (CNR-T). Basically they payout their cash flow, which is sustainable as long as oil prices don't crater.

SELL

Old royalty trusts that converted to dividend stocks have massively outperformed their EMP (?) rivals. Very few bargains in this group. All pretty extended in price. If you are not dependent on distribution yields, he would look at one of the quality seniors as a better opportunity. (See Top Picks.)

BUY

Eloquent solution. Holders of income trusts in RSPs would be allowed to shift them to another plan like a TSFA. It’s a good solution. A well thought out plan. They will be taxable when they convert. A great little company.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) One of the great trusts. One of the ones they like. Don’t own it because they prefer the other 4.

BUY

Dividend can be sustained for a while as we move into 2011. High yield (10%). If they drop it down and you then get the dividend tax credit it is back again.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Very oil weighted so will trade on oil prices. If oil pulls back it could give you an opportunity.

BUY

True royalty trust in that they are not an operator but collect royalties. Less downside if they become a corp. 11% yield.

HOLD

Not a typical income trust in that they are being paid to hold particular properties. The whole idea is to farm out as much as they can. Overall assets are good. Probably in better shape than other income trusts regarding conversion.

BUY

Likes the story longer-term. Very good assets. Have raised the dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 27/08. Down 28.65%.) 9% distribution is safe. One you can hold for many years into the future. Very little leverage.
