Q: Hi 5i guys. NXR (Nexus industrial reit) is now truly an industrial reit since they have sold almost all of their non-industrial properties. At the current price of around $7.77 per unit nexus has a yield slightly above 8 per cent!! In the past couple of years nxr's yield has been higher than their cash flow which is concerning, but the past quarter I believe their payout ratio was around 97 per cent (please confirm). They have a couple of new properties that should be contributing to cash flow and apparently they are releasing properties at much higher rates. Based on that I believe they should be able to continue with the generous yield since the payout ratio should slowly improve. What concerns me is the cost of their debt. They have to refinance a portion of the debt this year and next. The debt they are rolling over was at very low rates and the new rates are at least one per cent higher. Can your bloomberg terminal give an estimate of how much more interest NXR will have to pay on their new debt? If you can make a query as to whether the increasing of rent (and new property rent) will more than offset higher interest payments would be appreciated as well (I am not sure how sophisticated a Bloomberg terminal can be.) I was fortunate that last summer I rotated some tech into precious metal miner and now I want to pay it safe and reduce the PM miners with some income plays. NXR got on my radar. My only other reit exposure is a small position in Granite reit. Thanks for your help and I wish I had a Bloomberg terminal!!

Q: Hello 5i Team

I own European Residential REIT in a taxable account.

The REIT has previously announced it will sell all its remaining properties and essentially close down operations and delist from the public markets.

Current price is approximately $1.14 and the net asset value as of December 31, 2025 is approximately $1.44 (as per financial statements released).

How does this process occur? Do they essentially liquidate their portfolio, pay taxes and distribute the proceeds to unit holders (say $1.40 per unit to account for taxes and closing costs) and the trading price of the units goes to zero. This would result in a "capital loss" on the units and some form of taxable distribution (mix of capital gains, income and or return of capital).

Or does a private buyer make a take-over offer of say $1.35, take the units private and then internally deal with the closing down of operations.

Has there been other examples of companies / reits closing down operations?

Is this a potential arbitrage opportunity?

Thanks

Q: Could you comment on the results. Looks like they were not as good as expected. I had been thinking of starting a position in my RSP, viewing Killam as a pretty stable reit, decent yield, and probably somewhat exempt from a major market correction. What do you think? Take advantage of this drop or stay away?
Thank-you

Q: Greetings,

1. The last time a question was posted on this platform, regarding Allied was in November. Does that suggest a lack of interest? 11 year lows can't be helping much.


2. There are many insider buys at less than $200 per transaction. On January 14th, an insider spent just $43! To my eyes, unusual, so my question - why would insiders buy in such tiny tranches?

3. Payout ratio's - I'm having trouble trusting some of the numbers out there. What do you think it is and after the December dividend reduction, do you think future dividends are relatively safer?

4. What's the connection with CHP.UN and is it a good sign?

5. Oversold? At what price would you consider the purchase worth the risk / reward ?

All the very best
A

Q: Can you update your opinion on DX please (from 5 years ago)

Q: Hello, can you comment on their latest earnings? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team

RFA Financial (the former Artis REIT)

Any thoughts on the merged entity?

The 3:1 share consolidation has muddied the waters a little.

Do you know what the proposed dividend will be?

Has the earnings date been released yet?

Thanks

Q: What do you think of RMAX ? Are there other real estate funds that look interesting ? How about international real estate opportunities. Please provide some of your picks.

Q: hi 5i Research team,
can you explain why Altus shares are trading around 48$ after its recent substantial issuer bid has only taken up and paid for 2,855,696 of its common shares at a price of C$57.00 per Share (total paid < 163 M). Under its substantial issuer bid, it was allowed to repurchase for cancellation a number of its Shares for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed C$350 millions at a price from 51$ to 57$. I thought that following its successful SIB, AIF shares would trade around a floor « created » by its SIB price. Also, can you explain why AIF has been willing to pay 57$ a few weeks ago, and now, it is not willing to buy back shares at a lower price with the unused cash (350 - 163 = 187 millions) still siting in its bank account? What am I missing? Should management reconsider selling the whole company? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric
