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.

BUY

Probably one of the blue-chip names. Wouldn't hold it for appreciation, because all trusts are going to face taxation in four years. Distribution is relatively secure.

HOLD

Would put it in the surviving category.

HOLD

In the middle category of performers. Relatively immune to cost increases.

BUY

Started buying under $20. It's a royalty trust, i.e., it collects royalties rather than drilling. Yield is over 10%. Good company.

DON'T BUY

Structured differently than most energy trusts. Don’t operate anything, but hold royalties instead. The negative is that when production declines, your royalties are reduced, so they have to continue to buy more and more royalty interests.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has a solid building block. Yield is around 10%. Royalty trust. Buying for new accounts. Try to buy under $20.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Have been buying under $20. They have lots of drillable land.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 20/06. Up 7.7%.) Still likes it. Currently yielding about 10%. Its unique in that it owns properties and farms out for other companies to drill on and then collect a royalty. Very conservative management.

BUY

A smaller oil/gas trust with more exposure to oil. Unique, in that they are a royalty structure. They allow others to drill on their properties and they collect the royalties. In high oil/gas prices, they benefit from the amount of drilling. Solid management.

TOP PICK

This is the one trust that the bulk of their assets have a gross overriding royalty. Payout ratio is 78%, but because they don't have to do capital expenditures the higher payout ratio is okay. Yield of about 11%.

HOLD

A very solid name. She sold her holdings for better opportunities. A little different than others in that they hold underlying royalty interest in a number of the properties which means there is no risk on operating costs. Well managed. If you own, you might consider taking a little bit of profit.

BUY

Unusual oil/gas trust. Other oil/gas trusts you participate after cash flow. This one you participate right at the top. Management is like a landlord, just collects rent and not involved in exploration/development of oil/gas. By its nature it has the potential to be one of the most sustainable of oil/gas trusts as they have no capital expenditure. Have large land postitions that others want to drill on. Pull back is due to financing of an acquisition during a soft market. Good time to Buy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Unique company in the oil/gas royalty space. About 75% of income is from royalties so it doesn't have the operating/production risks of its underlying company. Should trade at a premium to the group. Have been able to grow their production/reserves on a per unit basis. Good management team. Conservative balance sheet. Expensive.

TRADE

Has had a great run and have been trimming back their positions. Good substitutions for a 2/3 year hold would be Arc Energy or Canadian Oil Sands.

HOLD

Has been a very good performer over time. 2/3's of its earnings comes from royalties, so doesn't have the risks of costs, etc.Has shopwn good growth in reserves. Trades at a premium valuation compared to its competition.
