Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

Killam Properties Inc (KMP.UN-T) is currently trading at a substantial discount to its net asset value (NAV), with one report indicating a discount of over 15% and another citing a 20% discount. This perceived decrease in value may be attributed to recent announcements regarding curtailed immigration. Killam's portfolio consists of 60% of its assets located in Atlantic Canada, but the company is actively diversifying its holdings into Ontario and British Columbia. Notably, 44% of its assets are insulated from rent control, which bodes well for potential profitability. Experts remain hopeful for strong future results and suggest that current investors should maintain their positions, although one expert hints that there may be better investment opportunities available elsewhere.

HOLD

Reports on November 5.

Now trading at an interesting level, over 15% discount to NAV. Fallen perhaps because of announcement on immigration being curtailed. 60% of portfolio in Atlantic Canada, actively diversifying in Ontario and BC. Likes that 44% of assets are not subject to rent control. Expecting results to be good. Stay the course.

HOLD

20% discount to NAV. Very good portfolio. Originated in eastern Canada, has moved west. Comfortable owning, but better opportunities elsewhere. See his Top Picks.

BUY

Very good performance the past few months. Falling interest rates good for business. Good way to play residential market in Canada. Expecting dividend to rise. If rates fall, will be even better for business. Expecting capital appreciation going forward.

PARTIAL BUY

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

KMP.un's second-quarter funds from operations (FFO) per unit came in at $0.30, an increase of 7.1% year-over-year. The company reported a net income of $114.5 million, against $68.7 million reported in the second quarter of 2022, beating estimates by a wide margin ($30.4 million). The jump was attributed to $96.2 million of fair value gains on investment properties in the period. KMP generated a net operating income of $56.2 million, an 8.8% increase from 2Q22. The rolling 12-month adjusted FFO payout ratio shrank by a full 2% to 73% in the recent quarter. Same-property net operating income growth came in at 7.9%, matching the management target. We think it was a decent quarter and management spoke about market rent growth in certain areas and a focus on development and disposition of assets.

BUY

Highest immigration to maritime provinces in Canada ever(own lots of properties in maritimes). Excellent dividend yield with discount to net asset value. Superior return to buying a GIC. Would recommend buying.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Killam pays a higher dividend of 4.18% and trades at only a 7.61x PE, down from 9.25X nearly a year ago. Like CAP REIT, Killam’s forward PE is substantially higher at 16.67x, so the market has high hopes for this REIT stocks . Last month, TD raised its price target on the name from $21 to $22 and issued a buy signal. Read 3 Promising REIT Stocks for our full analysis.

HOLD

He's never really liked CAP.UN. His proxy is KMP.UN, focused in Nova Scotia. Growth profile of immigration coming into Halifax.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Other numbers look healthy for KMP stock: A 9.6% PE, a 3.15% dividend based on a 26% payout ratio (half the sector’s number), and an ROI of 7% which is in-line with peers. KMP.UN boasts five buys and one hold on Bay Street with a $23.33 price target. That’s 5.18% higher. So, add the divvy and in a year, you’ll collect 8.33%. Maximize your gain by holding this in your TFSA. Safe and profitable, KMP.UN will let you sleep at night. Read 3 Long Term Growth Stocks for our full analysis.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The recent property acquisition was well received by the market. The $190M purchase looks good and 5i likes the expansion into Ontario to diversify the business. Occupancy rate is high at 98% and average rent is $1,200. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

He's generally positive this. They're operated well during the pandemic. About 70% of their portfolio is in Atlantic Canada, which is stable. They've tried growing in Ontario and BC. Their valuation has hung in better than their peers. But he prefers REITs in hard-hit centres like Toronto's and Montreal's business cores Still a good REIT at current levels, though there's better upside elsewhere. The dividend is safe.

HOLD

Thinks highly of management. Focus on Atlantic, with nice expansion west. Stable operator. Nice value-added strategy. Steady growth. Rebounded nicely off lows. But growth won't be the same as other REITs.

BUY

Killam vs. Crombie REITs Killam holds apartments, an asset class he really likes among REITs. Rent-collection rates are really high for Killam, so no worries about that. All these REITs trade at a 10-15% discount to NAV. Funding costs will drop 1%, because they get funding from CMHC. A hiccup comes from mobile homes which had weakness in the last quarter. Other businesses are fine. CROMBIE: He owns Crombie's debt, not the REIT. This is anchroed by Canadian Safeway and Sobey stores. Highly defensive. Sobeys had an integration problem out west. He likes this as a conservative REIT, but it won't do much. Likes both.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 31/19, Down 6%) Recently trimmed position. Still sees upside. Collections are resilient. Very attractive price, 15% discount to NAV. Yield over 3.5%.

HOLD

Will it do well after a Covid vaccine emerges? They've been collecting all their rents. Good managers. He likes apartment REITs, which are well-positioned. After a vaccine, there will be higher rates of immigration that the government will promote. Immigrants will seek affordable housing, so Killam will benefit. Now, KMP is fairly valued, so hold and be patient.

HOLD

Likes their managers and strategy. They dominate across the Maritimes and have expanded into Ontario, BC, and have a small presence in Calgary. They outperform some apartment REITs, because they lack exposure in urban centres (urban, multi-family REITs have lagged). Killam should stability and growth in the coming year. Problem is that foreign students and movies are not renting in urban areas, and apartments face competition from condo supplies.
