Primaris REIT (PMZ.UN) has garnered attention for its solid performance amidst rising concerns in the mall REIT sector. Experts emphasize its strong occupancy rates of over 94% and a conservative funds payout ratio, indicating financial stability. The company’s low leverage and significant free cash flow contribute to its overall strength, with analysts recommending stop-loss adjustments to secure gains while awaiting further appreciation in share value. Additionally, the REIT operates in markets with limited competition, enhancing its landlord power over tenant selection and pricing. Despite some volatility, PMZ.UN is viewed as a high-quality investment, trading at a substantial discount to net asset value, making it an attractive pick in the sector.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this low leverage, low payout ratio REIT with significant free cash flow as a TOP PICK.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired.  It trades at 20x earnings and under book value.   The yield is backed by a FFO ratio under 55%.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $11.90) to $13.75, looking to achieve $18.50 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 5.4%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

PMZ.UN is Canada's only REIT focused on enclosed shopping centres that it owns and operates.  The company recently reported over 94% occupancy commitments, a funds payout ratio of only 52%, and no debt retiring in 2024.  It trades at 11x earnings and under book value.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $11.90, looking to achieve $17.00 -- upside potential of 22%.  Yield 6.0%    

BUY

Operates in malls, which makes everyone run for the exits. Operates in centres such as Kelowna, Guelph and Halifax. Places where there's only 1 mall, and nobody's building malls. So they have lots of power as landlords about who they'll accept as tenants, along with pricing power.

Very high quality. One of the best REITs in the whole sector. Trades at 40% discount to NAV.

HOLD
It has done well this year, trading between $12-16, now in the upper end. They were a spun-out of H&R REIT and came out with a clean balance sheet. They've prudently bought back shares. They keep meeting their benchmarks each quarter. It's appropriately valued. Do you want to own malls long-term? You think stores will continue to grow? If so, this is a good REIT. Many of their assets have an alternative use long-term. A solid hold and a trade.
BUY
Owns it in an income-seeking mandate he manages. Office portfolio spun off from HR.UN, which makes sense. Total return and income prospects are sustainable and compelling. Comfortable buying at these levels.
SELL

At $28 it is pretty fully valued. He would tender to H&R. You are getting full value.

COMMENT

Fundamentals are good. Leasing spreads were up 8.7% last quarter. H&R Reit (HR.UN-T) has made a bid to acquire them and it looks like this will go through. If this still works, the economy is going to have to be good for retail. H&R is probably going to be coming to market to issue equity. Fundamentals are still in place for REITs.

BUY

Offer made for $26, but he feels it is worth $28-$29. Enclosed shopping malls in Canada. Thinks the portfolio has a lot of value. Target is taking up a lot of locations in their malls. He would prefer it to continue to trade.

WEAK BUY

Fairly well distributed portfolio. Bought two malls recently and they are doing the right things. Got an upgrade to investment grade status. 5-5.5% dividend and modest capital appreciation. He prefers larger companies like REI.UN-T. They have access to capital and had quite a sell off.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) Owns Oakville Place and Burlington Mall. You can hold it for the yield.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Feels the street is underestimating the impact that Target is going to have when they move in. It will represent about a 3rd of their overall square footage.

BUY

Still has some upside here. Their quarter came in better than he thought. He was concerned that they would have issues with their tenant backfill being a bit down but was better than he thought. Balance sheet is very unlevered. Feels they are locked and loaded to do acquisitions and grow.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 4/11. Up 28.23%.) The only predominantly mall REIT in Canada. Haven’t done anything overly spectacular in the last year but it was cheap. Still sees some upside.
