Stock price when the opinion was issued
Large collection of healthcare real estate around the world. Inflation linked leases (good for income). Sticky tenants with doctors and healthcare. Problem is too much floating debt (higher interest rates). Recently replaced management team. Confident on business going forward. Expecting strength going forward. Book value is around $6-$7/share (trading around $4).
It has a 6.2% yield and he doesn't usually put higher yielding stocks into the equity platforms. This one came from the income platform. It fell so fast because it was over-leveraged but has now sold some of its assets. It is building a base and appears to be breaking out so he has bought two of the three legs. Buy 0 Hold 5 Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $5.85)One of the most attractive REITs on the TSX right now. Coming out of poor fundamental operations where capital allocation was mismanaged. New CEO cut dividend, sold properties. Prepared either way if interest rates fall or rise. Payout ratio will fall closer to 80%. Stock may have fallen recently because that new CEO is retiring next year. Yield is 7.3%, one of the highest out there.
Yes, in much better position today than previously. Management transition. Hard to see it going back to $10 levels anytime soon. Decent job allocating capital (ie. selling assets) to pay down debt. Enough to pay March debentures. Risk/reward not that compelling.
Likes the space. Diversified assets globally. Capital allocation decisions caught up to them, and stock dropped in 2022. Liquidity crunch, management shakeup, new CEO set to retire. Attractive yield is in question. If you want safety, this isn't it.
