Sienna Senior Living Inc. has garnered positive attention from analysts, highlighting its stability through government funding for long-term care and growth prospects driven by the aging baby boomer population. The company operates a balanced portfolio, including both government-funded and private-pay retirement homes, which positions it well for capital appreciation and income generation. Analysts anticipate increased occupancy rates and expanding margins, with projected earnings growth supported by a new government funding model. While there are concerns about labor challenges, the robust demand in the retirement and long-term care sectors suggests a favorable outlook for Sienna, making it an appealing option for investors seeking stable dividends and growth.

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Csh.un

BUY

LTC and retirement homes. Tremendous demographic growth profile. Very inexpensive valuations. A lot of US money is coming into the space. More supply will get built. He owns CSH.UN for clients.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Half is retirement space and half is nursing home space. It is an occupancy story and has operating exposure. Discounted with lots of value. Buy on pullbacks but watch closely.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 24/20, Up 12%) Has very good organic growth. Covid-19 costs will reduce. Increased demand in long term care facilities as population ages.

DON'T BUY

SIA vs. CSH.UN Likes the industry because of the demographics. CSH.UN is her preference, as 90% revenue is from retirement homes and only 10% from LTC. This mix is better than SIA's. CSH.UN's occupancy rate declined during Covid to 78%. Returning to pre-pandemic levels will take time and be lumpy. Both companies have high vaccination rates. CSH.UN has a very attractive multiple, and she's buying it with new client money.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 22/20, Up 36%) Occupancy rates are rising again. Resumption of organic growth. Demographics are phenomenal. Strong balance sheet. Compelling valuation. Yield is 6.5%, which is totally safe.

HOLD

It was a great buy at the start of the pandemic. Right now it has recovered, but the balance sheet is somewhat stretched. Don't go out and buy it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 22/20, Up 40%) It is a very well managed company. Occupancy rates are increasing. The dividend is perfectly safe. Growth is starting up again as they build new residences.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 16/20, Up 75%) Time to buy when fear is greatest and the news is negative. High vacancy rates are slowly waning. Solid balance sheet, safe dividend. Continued demand. Pandemic has caused costs to rise, but government is providing funding. Building new facilities, so company will start growing again.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Somewhat still cautious on the sector. They had good numbers and revenue decreased by only 2.7% all things considered. Cash flow improved marginally and debt declined. Payout is now 59%. Vaccination of residents is going well and the worst is probably over here. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 16/20, Up 57%) Leader in LTC and retirement homes. Huge demand and backlog. Strong balance sheet, dividend is totally safe. Tailwind of aging demographics. Operating costs have gone up in the industry, but government is subsidising and will also fund new projects.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 28/20, Up 16%) They own 80 LTCs in BC and Ontario. SIA got hit by negative headlines during Covid (seniors died) and higher vacancy rates. This is transitory. Long-term, the number of seniors will double in 15 years in Canada and vacancies should decline. SIA has a solid balance sheet and pays a safe 6.6% dividend yield, guaranteed in part by government-guaranteed cash flows from their long-term care centres. The pandemic has forced governments to modernize this sector, so there will be more government funding to upgrade these LTCs. Expect growth to resume next year.

DON'T BUY

He did buy it last year and it got absolutely crushed. Occupancy rates are going to decline because you can't tour the facilities. They got hit harder than the rest of the seniors homes. He does not own it any more. There is short term risk until the pandemic actually passes.

TOP PICK

Down 30% on the year. Learned a lot through Covid. A demographic play. There will be more regulations, but their very strong management can handle it. Pandemic costs will create some near-term volatility. Yield is 6.82%. (Analysts’ price target is $14.38)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Re-rating of seniors REITs. Prefers Chartwell. SIA dividend is good, payout ratio should start looking better. Low valuation. You can buy both on weakness.

TOP PICK

They took a credibility hit after the Canadian army named them for several infractions at some retirement homes during the spring lockdown (some seniors died of Covid in Sienna home). They since made major management changes to beef up staff. The dividend is sustainable. The cost of operating these seniors' facililities has risen, though the government is covering a part of this cost and is thinking of helping to further fund home upgrades. (Analysts’ price target is $14.02)
