TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly WJX is an integrated distribution company that provides rentals, sales, parts and services of heavy equipment to the major industrial sectors. They will benefit from the return to normal infrastructure development during the pandemic recovery in Canada. Not a massive growth stock, but provides an excellent dividend that is backed by a payout ratio less than 65% of cash flow. It trades at just 1.2 times book value and at 13x earnings, compared to its peers at 48x. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $14, looking to achieve $25 -- 25% upside. Yield 5.09% (Analysts’ price target is $21.00)

COMMENT
When rates rise higher because of inflation, that's good for real estate. We're seeing pent-up demand, which bodes well for real estate long term. true, borrowing costs would rise, but in real estate everything is priced off a spread and interest rates are still at generational lows. Also, the yield on publicly available real estate investments remains attractive compared to corporate bond yields. Finally, the US sunbelt still looks good enjoying strong demand (i.e. Tennessee, Florida) based on Americans migrating to cheaper housing prices.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Are a U.S. homebuilder in 40-50 markets with a long track record. He really likes their 1.4x price to book value vs. peers around 2.1x. Likes their built-order model which offers better pricing power and wider margins. KBH good value. No, he doesn't see a Canadian housing crash. Rather, there's a supply shortage, particularly in cities like Toronto and Calgary, restricting more single-family homes. Eventually, the government will welcome more immigrants which will exacerbate supply further. That said, borrowing costs remain historically low.
BUY
Likes it. They operate in cities, multifamily units in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. The REIT is no longer a bargain, but he expects immigration and students returning to school later this year to raise demand, so there's upside to this REIT. You can buy this now.
DON'T BUY
Office outlook and work from home? It's tough to predict the future. AP is a great operator of office buildings. They convert brick and beam buildings to cool office spaces. West of the Toronto downtown core, vacancies have risen to 15.8%, almost double the core of 8.3%. This is a headwind. To fill office space, you must give incentives. What percent of the workforce will return to the office? Some will, some won't. Short term there will be choppiness and challenges, but AP is good operator. He would buy this if shares were far lower, but this REIT is fairly valued now.
BUY

CT REIT (Canadian Tire) vs. Choice Properties (Loblaw) based on dividends for seniors He likes both REITs. Both dividends are safe, Choice paying 5.4% and CT 4.9%, and both well run. He owns Choice and bullish their outlook. He likes Loblaw as an operator and there is opportunity here. CT is very stable, with their development in Toronto's Yonge/Eglinton, a fantastic location, but very patient with this coming online in several phases.

STRONG BUY
Owns a lot of this. They operate mostly single-family rentals in the US sunbelt, plus a smaller apartment portfolio there with possibly synergy. They offer affordable rents. This sector will have huge net operating income growth in 2021-22. Forget that home prices have been rising double-digit in the U.S. and will continue--we're in a long supercycle for U.S. housing. Very bullish Tricon with a lot of upside.
WEAK BUY
A diversified healthcare REIT, with assets in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Brazil and Canada. They just issued units to the public, which signals their stock is fairly valued. It trades at a discount to NAV. NWH is very safe, operating in the right segments of healthcare. They have a growing asset management business, providing steady a fee income stream. There's less upside here vs. other healthcare names, and you're owning for the yield.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 30/20, Up 5%) They operate multi-family apartments in the U.S. sunbelt--mostly Dallas, Houston and Austin, which are high-growth/job centres, and BSR is targeting the middle market with affordable rents. Likes this, but the valuation doesn't make sense. It trades at an implied CAP rate of 6.1% (the capitalization rate is the going-in yield when you buy a property, like a bond yield, and the higher the yield, the lower the price, and vice-versa). A great, well-run company. Very bullish about it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 30/20, Up 40%) It bounced sharply off the bottom. It's one of the biggest U.S. single-family rental operators. The CAP rate is 4.4%, in line with U.S. apartment operators. Single-family operators should be at a lower CAP rate (or higher value). This is a great business with super earnings growth. He sees 10% growth this year. He likes their business model, which builds its own homes and does so with added efficiencies.
