RioCan Real Estate Investment (REI.UN-T) receives mixed reviews from experts, highlighting various risks and opportunities in the Canadian REIT market. While some experts appreciate the decent dividend yield of around 5% and the company's high occupancy and renewal rates, others express concerns about high valuations and the potential impact of a weakening Canadian economy on retail spaces. There is a sentiment of caution towards Canadian REITs due to high payout ratios and limited financial flexibility. One expert even suggests focusing more on similar companies in the US for better growth potential. Despite these reservations, the overall outlook for RioCan remains cautiously optimistic, attributing safety to its distribution and potential growth levers.

PLD

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Excellently run. Everybody is starting to say the other shoe may not drop.

HOLD

Very high quality REIT. In the retail side, which is a little bit more defensive in this environment because they have large big box retailers. Payout is a little high but she thinks they can grow into it.

BUY

Likes this one here. The risk is a general slowdown in the economy. Has good management and is very diversified. Biggest REIT in Canada. 9.7% yield. Has gone through the corrective phase and is now expecting improvement in the REIT group.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 24/08. Down 20.84%.) Sold his holdings at about $12. REITs are doing deals at 8% on the credit side but getting income at about 7.5%. Fairly valued but doesn't see going up anymore.

COMMENT

Has under performed a lot recently. Haven't put themselves in position to take advantage of things. Have a high distribution.

COMMENT

Everything about this firm is really good except that they don't earn their distributions. Doesn't expect particularly good performance. Low debt and great shopping centres with very good management. Under performed significantly in the last month or so. If the economy does not pick up they will have troubles but on the other hand they have good tenants.

BUY

One of the biggest, if not the biggest public shopping centre companies. Almost pure retail but with some office structures. Not doing as well because retail is down. Just did a financing to shore up their balance sheets. Thinks distribution is secure. Not a bad place for decent income. 9% yield.

BUY

Largest REIT in the country primarily focused on unenclosed power centres in large cities. Approaching fair value at these levels but there is some upside. Over 9.3% yield.

TOP PICK

Largest REIT in Canada with retail, office and industrial. 9.4% yield and history has been to increase. Because of the government’s treatment of income trusts people are yield deprived and this is a good yield play.

COMMENT

One of the worries with commercial REITs is the extent of the economic slowdown and the risk to their tenants. This is probably one of the premier REITs and will survive. Expect there will be some choppy waters over the next year or so. Company states they will not touch the distributions.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) One of the top 3 real estate companies in Canada. Great tenants and great assets.

TOP PICK

Reasonable quality. Sustainable 10% yield. Payout ratio is above 100%. Not too much debt and they will refinance buildings to meet payout ratio above 100%. This is ok with them, specifically. They have lots of room to raise money.

BUY

One of largest operators of Canadian REITs. Should be bouncing off a bottom here. Potentially worried about distribution, depending on increasing vacancy rates. Not worried short term.

BUY

One of the largest shopping centre REITs in Canada. Their anchor tenants are all doing very well.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Premier REIT in Canada. Distribution has always been troublesome. About 110% payout ratio with about 75%-80% covered by core cash flow and the rest by gains on the sale of assets. Have been very busy making acquisitions, which has all been very accretive. Would Buy around $11 and Sell at around $13.
