Smart REIT (SRU.UN) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, highlighting its defensive nature and attractive dividend yield, which is currently close to 7%. Despite its appeal, concerns regarding growth and economic pressures are prevalent, with some analysts pointing to the high payout ratio and the challenges faced in the retail sector, especially in light of tenant bankruptcies. Experts recognize Walmart as a solid anchor tenant, but express caution about the potential for dividends to be cut or shares to be issued in turbulent times. Additionally, while the company is considered well-managed and has strong assets, analysts suggest that growth may lag behind inflation, indicating a preference for stocks with lower payout ratios like Sienna Senior Living. The overall sentiment leans toward it being a good long-term hold, albeit with limited growth prospects in the near term.

BUY

Trading underneath its asset value and is very cheap. Should be closer to $30. Has one of the best portfolios of retail space in Canada.

TOP PICK

Inflation advantaged. When inflation goes up rents go up. The value of the asset goes up with inflation. Good price.

TOP PICK

Focused on Retail properties. Will go anywhere that Walmart is going. At this stage you can buy at a discount NAV. Good managment team. Risk is when Walmart leaves the area they are in.

TOP PICK

A play on the big box Wall-mart anchored store.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 8/06. Down 2%.) Floundered. Has the inherent ability to grow. Have an inside track for Wal-Marts, but building stores around it takes time. Wait for signs of recovery before buying.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 5/06. Up 13.3%.) Has constant development and usually is anchored by Wal-Mart. Good growth.

BUY

Retail, focused on unenclosed power centres, generally Wal-Mart anchored. Expects they will have consistently increased distributions at, or will exceed, inflation.

BUY

Retail focused. Primarily owns large centres. Likes the stability of their tenants. Wal-Mart accounts for 27% of their leases, but pays exceptionally low rent. Phenomenal management team. A good core name.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 13/06. Up 18.9%.) A good place to be.

PARTIAL BUY

Making acquisitions. Has been beaten up in the last little while as they did 2 large equity issues creating overhangs on both of them. At these levels, he would consider adding selectively. A good core name.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 8/06. Up 1.2%.)

BUY

Focuses on unenclosed power centres in any market that has 100,000 or more. Have taken a lot of steps to improve the operation and the structure of the REIT. A really good quality core name.

TOP PICK

Big shopping centres company. Virtual lock on all Wal-Mart sites. Did an issue that didn’t sell. Highly likely that down the road there will be a major sell-out of this issue. That would be the time to Buy.
