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.

HOLD
Largest REIT in Canada. High-quality name. Have had 12 years of consecutive distribution increases. REIT section is pretty fully valued at this time. Market is starting to revalue REITs for further consolidation. Not a lot of upside.
WEAK BUY
Some of the REITs he likes includes Riocan (REI.UN-T) and Canadian Apartment (CAR.UN-T). The problem is, they are well recognized, and are mature part of the trust market so the yields are fairly low. A lot of the easy money has been made.
HOLD
Largest REIT in Canada and well diversified. Excellent management. Have economies of scale having management inside properties. The negative is that it is a huge, huge company and to add value is getting harder. Starting to pay a little over their payout ratios but their leverage is not that high.
HOLD
Largest REIT in Canada. Offers tremendous diversification. Management is solid. Problem is, it is hard for them to acquire and outgrow themselves, they are so big they are doing a lot more green fielding development.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Great company. Little expensive right now. He will periodically reduce when it is expensive and buy back when it gets cheaper.
BUY
Has come off 20%. Have tremendous synergies because of their size. Because they are so big, it is hard for them to grow their bottom line. Management fees have gone up which is a great margin creator.
WEAK BUY
A premier owner and developer. The largest REIT. Very professional management team. A great long-term investment. Watching this one closely.
TOP PICK
A very strongly structured REIT. Growing on a very conservative way. It will be a good platform for the future. If the market improves like he thinks it will, they will do quite well.
BUY
Stable growth. Not exciting but a great company.
HOLD
A great name. Fabulously well managed. Not much upside or downside. Very stable but not much growth.
BUY
Has provided high double-digit rates of return over the last 10 years. Solid management team. Going forward, watch out for the potential retirement of the CEO.
BUY
This should be a core holding in any REIT portfolio. Was getting a bit expensive and you are now seeing some consolidation.
DON'T BUY
Excellent management. The largest REIT and well seasoned. The only issue is their size. Can they be accretive with acquisitions? They are doing more speculative, green development products where they have some expertise. There has been a rally in the REIT market and not sure it can be sustained.
WEAK BUY
They like it very much and they own it. It is one of their larger REIT positions. It is not inexpensive and hardly any REiTs are inexpensive these days. Riocan has done well over the past few years and they feel there are opportunities ahead for them. It is not cheap assets. Real estate is expensive.
WEAK BUY
There has been a real sell-off in all the REITs. Triggered by the US REIT Index turning over which is probably triggered by interest-rate fears. This has created a good buying opportunity. Would prefer Calloway REIT (CWT.UN-T).
