Melcor Developments Ltd (MRD) has received mixed reviews from experts recently, with both cautionary and encouraging sentiments expressed. In a prior review dated November 23, an expert indicated that the stock had reached its stop-loss position at $12 and recommended exiting the position to minimize losses, highlighting a previous investment loss of 4%. Conversely, in a review on November 14, the same expert noted the stock's positive progress and suggested raising the stop-loss to $12. This divergence in recommendations suggests that while there may be some short-term volatility or risk in the stock, there are also signs of potential upward movement. Investors are left to weigh their options carefully, considering both the recent uptick in price and a cautious approach to managing stops in this evolving market landscape.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MRD as a TOP PICK.  Despite a challenging environment with inflation and high interest rates, the company is seeing good development in the Calgary marketplace and in Colorado.  Recent quarterly earnings showed cash reserves growing once again, with debt being retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 5x earnings and under book value.  The dividend is covered by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow.  We continue to recommend a stop at $10.75, looking to achieve $14.00 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 5.4%   

(Analysts’ price target is $14.00)

TOP PICK

Following quarterly reported funds from operations increasing 47%, we reiterate Alberta based real estate developer MRD as a TOP PICK.  The company is shedding assets to allow it to focus on Alberta projects.  Cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and stock bought back.  It pays a good yield, backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $10.25) to $10.75, looking to achieve $14 -- upside potential of 16%.  Yield 5.1%

TOP PICK

We again reiterate this Western Canadian real estate developer as a TOP PICK.  Higher interest rates are challenging in the sector, but the company continues to increase cash reserves, while aggressively reducing debt and buying back shares.  It trades at 5x earnings and under book value.  The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $9.50) to $10.25, looking to achieve $14 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 5.2%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MRD as a TOP PICK.  Latest reported earnings met expectations, but were down on the year reflecting reduced confidence in the REIT space with higher interest rates.  We liked that cash reserves grew, while debt was retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 5x earnings and 1.5x book value.  It pays a good yield, supported by a payout ratio under 25%.  We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $9.50, looking to achieve $14.00 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 5.3%

MRD manages and develops real estate properties in Canada and the US.  Recently reported earnings were up 59%.  It trades under book value and pays a good yield, backed by a payout ratio under 25%.  We like that it is building cash reserves while buying back shares.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $9.50, looking to achieve $14.00 — upside potential of 19%.  Yield 5.0%

WATCH

He has been short. It is getting to a valuation where he is thinking about covering. Their problem was they were based in Calgary. It is starting to look interesting on a price to book basis. He is not quite sold on it yet. Their earnings are not going to turn around any time yet. He would not buy it, but he is covering shorts.

DON'T BUY
Land and residential development, primarily in Alberta. This is not a REIT so something he would not be interested in. In an economic recovery, it would have tons of torque to the upside and leverage. Since he doesn't see this recovery it probably would not keep pace with the rest of the real estate sector in Canada.
DON'T BUY
Primarily land banking and servicing land and having it annexed by Calgary. Slightly up the risk curve because they do have a small portfolio of assets that are cash flowing, but the bulk of the assets you are buying into is raw land that is non-cash flowing.
BUY
Alberta and western Canada focused. Generally they own land around the city of Calgary and that land gets developed, serviced and then annexed to the city. Higher up the risk curve, but they have been able to generate tremendous results, both last year and this year. You aren't buying real-estate so much as the land and banking on the appreciation of the land in the annexation.
BUY
A cheap stock, which should go up.
