Freehold Royalties Ltd (FRU-T) has received mixed evaluations from experts, with a strong focus on its dividend yield, which is seen as safe and sustainable. Many analysts emphasize the stability offered by its royalty model, making it a favorable choice for defensive investors looking for steady income, especially in a fluctuating commodity market. While some experts suggest that the stock is not a long-term hold and point out the peak demand for fossil fuels, others see potential upside driven by ongoing growth in U.S. energy production and a favorable dividend yield. The general sentiment is one of caution, suggesting limited price upside but a preference for holding for yield rather than capital appreciation. Overall, the stock is viewed as a reliable option for investors seeking consistent income amid uncertain energy market conditions.

WCP

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.
