Andrew Moffs Plaza Retail REIT PLZ.UN-T DON'T BUY Nov 04, 2019

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.

CEO retired, but Andrew still thinks highly of management team. Primarily in Eastern and Atlantic Canada. Fits his grocery-anchored profile. Attractive 7+% distribution, and high implied cap rate. Discount to NAV, though not the greatest, and decent upside.
