H&R Real Estate Investment Trust (HR.UN-T) has been described as a classic value stock that recently completed a strategic alternatives plan, which unfortunately did not result in a sale of the company as initially hoped. The company is now focusing on refocusing its operations, particularly by selling down non-core assets and concentrating on multi-family properties in the U.S. and industrial assets in Canada. This strategic shift comes at a time when the Sun Belt region in the U.S. is facing significant pressure from new supply in the market. Despite the challenges, the firm offers an attractive yield to investors willing to wait, as there is potential for a value-maximizing transaction in the future. Overall, the plan appears to be realistic, but successful execution will be necessary for long-term performance.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 4/05. Up 21%.) One of the highest quality, blue chip, commercial property in the REIT space. Exemption from the new taxes will add to their attractiveness.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 5/06. Up 12.4%.) The whole REIT sector has been positive. Summit REIT takeover by ING, Australia took out about 7%, so REIT’s have started re-evaluating themselves. A lot of capital flowing into the REIT sector now.
COMMENT
Will be affected by interest rates. If you think rates are flattening out and maybe going down in 07, you might get a bump in valuation. This one has a yield of 6.3% which is fairly low reflecting a premium for liquidity. Probably not going to grow very much.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 21/06. Up 6.5%.) One of the highest quality REIT’s that you can own.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 25/05. Up 3%, 6% if distributions are factored in..) Good long-term holding.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Real estate sector has had a pretty good run and have had a correction over the last 2/3 weeks. If this one pulled back a little bit, you could buy. Stable cash flows.
TOP PICK
Relative to its large, liquid and stable peers, it is trading at a little bit of a discount. Relatively cheap.
TOP PICK
Industrial, retail, office spaces. Tend to sign long-term leases. Has sold off recently which makes it a very good buying opportunity.
TOP PICK
Has lagged it high quality peers. Good portfolio of office properties. Well diversified.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 28/05. Up 16%.) They did a fairly large equity issue which took them a while to get them worked out into the marketplace.
WEAK BUY
There has been a real sell-off in all the REITs. Triggered by the US REIT Index turning over which is probably triggered by interest-rate fears. This has created a good buying opportunity. His top pick in this sector would be Calloway REIT (CWT.UN-T).
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 4/05. Up 12%.) Had been a little depressed because of a financing issue which gave him the opportunity of a good price. Has now closed a lot of that gap but is still trading at a slight discount.
BUY
Real estate is somewhat more conservative than energy or some business trusts as it tends to be very stable. This one is a high-quality name. Strong management team. Very stable, steady growth and not a lot of upside, but a very safe place to be.
BUY
Excellent quality. They have assembled a high-quality portfolio and are expanding into the US. Long-term leases with high-quality tenants. Under levered based on their assets.
WAIT
Still cheap relative to the larger, more liquid REITs. Given what has happened today with the TSE, watch to see what happens on Monday and see if it matches your comfort level. Today’s weakness may well be a buying opportunity. It looks like the interest rate concern is not a threat for now.
