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.

TOP PICK
High-quality retail properties in their portfolio. Has historically outperformed and sees no reason why it shouldn't continue to do so.
TOP PICK
Largest shopping centre REIT in Canada. Have properties in the 6 main large markets across Canada. Also have growth opportunities in some of their urban areas. Trades at a discount to NAV.
HOLD
This one has been a matter of concern. REITs in the US and Canada have been taken down quite severely. Undervalued.
BUY
Largest REIT in Canada. Trading at a discount to NAV.
BUY
For the long-term, a lot of the real estate trusts are beginning to look very attractive. Some of the fear is coming from a possible economic slowdown and what would happen to a lot of their commercial rentals. Property values here are fairly solid. 6.8% yield should be safe.
HOLD
Retail stores. In an economic slowdown, there could be a pullback. This is a great company. Distributions have been great.
COMMENT
Looking at Riocan (REI.UN-T), Primaris (PMZ.UN-T), H&R (HR.UN-T) and Calloway (CWT.UN-T). Have been pretty well beaten up and the yields are looking very enticing. As an inflation hedge they look very attractive.
BUY
Defensive name. Very diversified portfolio with open-air retail centres spread across Canada. Hard to go wrong with this name.
HOLD
A bellwether REIT in Canada. Unenclosed power centres and dominant malls throughout all of Canada. Great management team.
TOP PICK
Good quality core holding. Defensive. Retail focused. Good growth in 2008, probably 5%-6% through leases rolling over. Decent development pipeline.
BUY
One of the premier quality REITs. Retail focused with high quality real estate. Has been hammered giving a great opportunity to buy. 6% plus yield. Outlook is fantastic.
BUY
Suffering from the sector weakness. He considers this Best in Class. Good creative management. Leases are coming due so they will have a healthy bump up of rents.
BUY
The largest shopping centre REIT. Across Canada. Good valuation at these levels.
BUY
The biggest, most liquid REIT in Canada. Have only just dropped their distribution below 100%. It's a bit expensive because there are so few shareholders, the expectation of a takeover is built into the price. Their debt is also very low.
TOP PICK
REIT market hasn't done anything. This one has grown into its valuation. Good valuation. Trades at a discount to its NAV. Trades at around 14X AFFO. Largest outdoor shopping mall centres giving them economies of scale. Going into lease rollovers, which will lift growth 5% to 6%. Have a great land bank.
