Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. It has good growth expectations and has stable tenants. Should be able to increase rents in-line with inflation over time. Has large anchor tenants that helps with stability. This could also mean a bit less bargaining power to raise rates however. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free
PLZ.UN is an open-ended Canadian REIT whose portfolio largely consists of open-air centres and stand-alone small box retail outlets. It pays a distribution yield of 7.1%, sales growth has been improving recently, margins have stabilized, and its free cash flow is sufficient for its distribution payments. It trades at an OK valuation of 12X forward earnings, and it is trading below its book value. We think it is a slightly risky REIT due to its small size and minimal growth rates. We would consider it 'OK' as part of a basket of higher risk income names, but not overly attractive as a single holding.

A little gem. A small-cap REIT in secondary markets, but is developing constantly. Without continually issuing equity, they have been able to increase NAV per share over time. The dividend is very safe. Management owns a ton of stock. One of his favourites. Has been underperforming lately, but its time will come.
