Granite REIT (GRT.UN-T) is navigating a complex landscape characterized by various factors such as tariff noise, geopolitics, inflation, and changing leasing dynamics. Recognized for its high-quality industrial properties, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area and rapidly growing regions within the Florida-Texas belt, the company boasts a solid tenant base with Magna as its largest tenant. Despite concerns over overbuilding during the pandemic, Granite's clean balance sheet and focus on Tier 1 markets position it well for a recovery, especially as the industrial warehouse sector starts to show signs of improvement. Experts express optimism about the REIT's potential to perform well due to a favorable interest rate environment and its ability to offer growth through e-commerce and industrial expansions, while also making it a viable option for dividend income. Overall, analysts expect continued positive performance through 2027, supported by increased leasing activity and solid cash flow.

BUY
Largest industrial REIT in Canada with regards to market cap. European portfolio weighing down company. Great management team. Trading at discount to net asset value. Own shares and would recommend buying. Share price presenting buying opportunity.
DON'T BUY
Diversified away from MG, reducing exposure to 25-30%. Problem when assets are outside North America. European headwinds, foreign exchange, slowing economy. Underperformed this year. Better industrial plays out there.
TOP PICK
The stock is down too much, pays a 4% dividend and should grow 15 to 20% in the next 12 months. It is an opportunity to invest in Europe since it has some European industrial exposure and it can borrow more cheaply there. It is still growing and has contracts indexed to inflation. Buy 11, Hold 0, Sell 0 (Analysts’ price target is $97.00)
BUY
Granite vs. Riocan REITs She owns neither, though they are both well run that should do well long term. Granite is better given strong demand for industrial warehouses, driven by ongoing e-commerce.
WAIT
This one's in the industrial space. Not a huge fan of real estate right now. Under pressure until we see some technical change or real indication rates are coming off. Avoid for now.
BUY
Earlier in the year, people bought real estate, thinking that would work in an inflationary environment. But recessions aren't good for real estate. Shows the folly of trying to second-guess, rather than having a long-term view. Well run. E-commerce is still strong.
BUY
Likes it. Great space. Canada, US, Europe. Today's the day you want to have growing industrial exposure in Europe, despite the political and recession risk. Industrial space is still doing well in Europe, and is playing catch up to NA.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Industrials are still favoured. Industrial demand continues to look solid. There is also more pricing power compared to residential occupancy. Rent increases in residential may be limited as the economy tightens. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 04/21, Up 25%) People were looking for solid income stocks. They hold industrial RE, including Europe. They've diversified its base, are handling its debt well and making acquisitions. Solid for income and moderate growth.
BUY
In the industrial warehouse space in the U.S., Canada and Europe. He is particularly bullish on industrial space in Europe since Amazon is building out there. Conservative balance sheet.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 04/21, Up 20%) It's holding up well, because it's in a steady space with high occupancy and can raise rents. In contrast, office space is not a good investment; most people are working from home. His office building is 5% occupied now.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Granite's PE clocks in at a very respectable 5.8x and margins which handily beat Allied and Dream REITs. The same goes with its ROI of 16.72% vs. Dream's 12.35%. The dividend yield clocks in on the low side in this sector at 3.08% but is solid at a lowly 16.47% payout ratio. Oh, yeah, Magna is one of Granite's biggest clients.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 25/20, Up 45%) Terrific results for a boring old REIT. The CEO is the all-star. Someday they'll have a supply problem, but not for many years. Right now, they're building industrial space like crazy. One of the best run real estate companies in Canada, with global ambitions.
BUY
He'd hold long-term. Industrial properties in Europe are a bit behind in pricing. Rents and valuation should go up. Stable, tremendous balance sheet. Conservative debt levels. Diversified beyond Magna. Lots of upside. Discount to NAV.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
GRT's been a big winner for him in the specialized REIT space. Though it's done well, you can add to it on pullbacks. There's a lot of time left in this game.
