Review of Chartwell Retirement Residences

Mar 26, 2024

CSH.UN stands to benefit from tailwinds relating to the aging population and interest rate stabilization/decreases in the future. Occupancy trends have been positive while margins have also expanded due to rent and service rate increases which bode well for its outlook. The main concern we have is the high debt level that CSH.UN carries, but overall, it is a solid REIT play. We are maintaining our rating of a ‘B’.

Review of Premium Brands Holdings Corporation

Mar 26, 2024

The company has been making investments in the US, and management sees this as a major growth driver for the company. If the weakness in Canada persists, PBH has strategies to redirect capacity to the US market. It trades at a slight premium valuation relative to peers, and given the recent and expected weakness in sales, we are downgrading our rating by one notch to a ‘B’.
