Freehold Royalties Ltd (FRU-T) is viewed as a stable, income-generating investment, primarily due to its reliable dividend yield of around 6.3-8%. Many experts highlight its defensive nature within the energy sector, particularly as it benefits from royalties without the capital expenditure risks that drilling operations face. While some analysts express concerns about long-term growth prospects in light of shifting energy demands and potential decreases in oil prices, others remain bullish on its strategic US acquisitions and believe it can sustain dividends even in lower price environments. Overall, it stands as a top choice for income-focused investors seeking a steady yield, though many suggest caution given the cyclical nature of oil commodities and limited growth compared to other energy stocks.

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.

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.
