Labrador Iron Ore Royalty (LIF-T) is viewed favorably by experts as a promising long-term investment, particularly for retirees seeking reliable income through dividends. The company enjoys a strong position in the iron ore market, with Rio Tinto as the operator, which contributes to its stability and dividend yields that are currently at 4.5%. While experts recognize the potential challenges posed by advancements in technology within the steel sector, they maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook on the importance of iron ore for infrastructure development. One expert suggests avoiding chasing the stock during strength, advocating for purchasing shares during market corrections to optimize investment. Overall, the stock is considered a solid holding due to its consistent income generation and relatively lower risk profile compared to direct mining investments.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's too cyclical for him. He likes the company. He'd buy this if this fell to the low-$20s or teens, which is not now.

WAIT

LIF vs. CIA Iron ore prices are pretty high, and it's not in short supply. If you're more aggressive, buy CIA. If you want to sit back and collect the cashflow, buy LIF. Be cautious on buying them in the short term, due to price weakness.

BUY

Commodity (iron ore) LIF vs. finished product (steel) STLC? He'd choose LIF. Owns it for income. STLC is an operating company; whereas LIF is a topline royalty company (gets paid on topline, not bottom line), operating for 50+ years, less operating leverage. Both steel and iron ore have rolled over. More downside for steel. Iron ore has already corrected back. Safer play. Yield is 24%, partially due to special dividends. Only 2% yield for STLC, and the CEO has been a major seller.

COMMENT

Probably has to do with the steel market. The last few months have seen talks about China and their steel demand. All steel companies have dropped. Long term supply and demand with stimulus and infrastructure, looks like a long term secular move.

DON'T BUY

Iron ore prices have fallen 33%. The dividend will probably adjusted for the following prices. Their dividends are fairly irregular. The dividend is related to the price of iron ore. Prefers to not buy resource stocks since it is not a long run growing company.

WAIT

Be careful. Don't get too enamoured with the dividend. It's likely to come down as iron ore pricing is under pressure. Dividend is tied to cashflow generated. It's holding at the moving average, but he'd wait for it to make a turn. There's more risk than he'd like to take right now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 12/20, Up 78%) They pay in divvies all their excess returns. Commodity prices like iron ore have gone through the roof since he bought LIF. Valuation and ROE remain strong. If iron ore prices hold, LIF will continue to do well. There's still upside here.

HOLD

They collect royalties on the production of iron ore. They are at the top of the quality food chain for iron ore. They are more competitive at selling to the rest of the world. Iron prices are very high as a result of shortage. Chinese demand is steady but they are having to move to higher quality supplies locally. When the price of steel comes down, iron ore will come down too, so be cautious. It will be a trade and not a long term investment.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Want to buy it when it is on a discount. Right now, it is fair priced. Want this as a core holding in a pension type account.

HOLD

It was overextended, and ripe for a snapback. China had a lockdown and released strategic reserves, which cooled demand and prices. Another few strong quarters of industrial and infrastructure demand, metal prices should tick back up. Have to watch the inflation narrative and 10-year bond rate. Nice stable dividend, plus special dividends.

BUY

One of the premier income stocks on the TSX. North of a 10% yield over the last 5 years. Very long reserve life. Low risk operating model, except for the cyclical commodity pricing. Quality asset. Buy it here pretty comfortably.

COMMENT

The dividend is variable. They are a royalty that sits on top of a mine. It has been a great income and total return vehicle but rises and falls with the price of iron ore. He prefers renewable power developers.

HOLD

It's a royalty company, receiving royalties from Rio Tinto. That dividend is adjusted annually and varies year to year. LIF has had a huge run like many base metal stocks. LIF-T suffered supply constraints due to problems in South America and Covid delays. The Canadian mine delivered a stable supply though. Question is: Do we get the commodity supercycle investment? Is there another leg higher with these metals companies? He's skeptical. He prefers copper to iron ore. There will be bumps with the coming supercycle, so hold LIF or wait for a better entry point.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Buy for dividend, growth or both? He's owned this for years as one of his first income trusts. This can be lumpy becomes it's commodity based. They always pay a dividend, but it varies. Commodity prices move and spike. He likes it. Buy it in the low-$30s. All metal stocks have had a great run. If bond yields peter out, there'll probably be some money move back into tech and out of cyclicals and this could push the price down. But watch the price of iron ore closely. LIF usually trades between in $20-40.
