Q: If only one of the above Industrial REITs could be owned, which one would you choose and why? Thanks for your insight.
Asked by Jerry on April 04, 2024
5i Research Answer:

Both are similar in size and have similar forward expected growth rates. GRT.UN has a slightly higher 10-year total return than DIR.UN and net profit margin, however, DIR.UN has a marginally better free cash flow yield. Both are valued quite similarly, but DIR.UN offers a higher yield of 5.4% vs. GRT.UN at 4.4%. For potential upside, we give DIR.UN the slight edge due to its smaller size, and slightly better forward growth estimates, however, for a more balanced approach, we feel that GRT.UN has proven itself to be a robust company.
