The company owns a variety of types of real estate, not just malls. GGP shareholders will get a combination of cash and Brookfield stock. If enough of them sell the stock, this will depress share prices. BPY’s plan for GGP is to redevelop the malls, to introduce condo’s and apartments, movie theaters, fitness centers, and other lifestyle properties to use the space that is being freed up by the departures of some large retailers. BPY is experienced in this type of development. It pays a strong dividend, 6.3%. It is a business that is good to own for the long term.

(A Top Pick September 12, 2017. Up 24%). This is a large US industrial company with 4 divisions. Pratt Whitney makes the engines for several types of aircraft. They are ramping up on a new engine and probably have the manufacturing problems behind them. They also own Otis Elevator, an Aerospace division and a division that makes climate controls. They are well-positioned for increased urbanization and for air travel. They have a recurring revenue stream from the service contract attached to their original equipment contract. Recurring revenue accounts for 40 to 45% of their overall revenue, making the business less cyclical than other industrials. They are growing through another acquisition (Rockwell Collins) and have raised their guidance in the first and second quarter. She sees this as a high-quality large-cap industrial company.

She expects 15% earnings growth this year, which suggests a likely rise of 15% in the dividend. Next year, as US growth moderates, she expects growth to slow to the single digit level. This is not the type buy in her current stock universe, but she still recommends buying it on a pullback. Yield just under 4%.
