First Capital Realty (FCR-T)

It owns retail shopping centres across Canada focused on grocery and pharmacy and is in the best markets. The strength and quality of its tenants is good and it has one of the best shopping centre portfolios globally. It trades at a great discount to the private market value of its real estate net asset value. He agrees with the company's estimate of a share price of $23. Has had some shareholder activism lately and he is hopeful for a strategic review. Yield is 4.7%.   Buy 4  Hold 3  Sell 1.

They own the finest portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centres in the world, 22 million Sq. Ft + 24 million Sq. Ft in the future, located in thriving neighbourhoods of density and income growth. It used to trade at a premium to NAV, but at a discount in the past 5 years, during which it was one of the worst-performing stocks. Holds a great portfolio, though struggles that they trade at a discount to NAV. Not surprised that an activist investor has come aboard. Good growth ahead. (Analysts’ price target is $18.71)

He does not own REITs but this is probably his favourite in the space. They did it right in the right markets. They created liberty village. They really did well pumping money into Hazelton Lanes. He believes it is still selling at a discount to its NAV.

A large owner-operator of shopping malls. 4.2% dividend. It's been sideways. It's an income vehicle and a slow grower. You own this for stable income. He doesn't see a retail "apocalypse." Safe dividend, maybe an increase, and a good
operator. This won't scream up in price anytime soon. It's stable. Prefers Riocan REIT.

Not a sell, though he owns the bonds. A retail story, but more defensive with liquor, drug, and grocery stores. Higher rates, and did a questionable issuance. Into new green development. Likes the company and its assets. But not the time to own it.

Management quite good, They develop space for condos and stores. Trades at a premium. Yield is not as high as other REITs, but yield of 4% is actually not bad.
