Investment Q&A

Q: hi, the annual rate of return on the equity price ( not including dividends ) is about 2.15 percent since may 2010. is this what you would expect for this going forward? and do you have the annual rate of return including dividends/fees etc? I can't find that. do you think this is a good time to add shares ( its trading below April 2013 ). im a bit confused as to why it is trading at this level, ie how do metrics compare with April 2013? cheers, chris

Q: Just wondering if you are still comfortable with this REIT.

Have been looking for a commercial property REIT for purposes of diversifying holdings away from multi-family. And I know Choice acquired the old Canadian REIT years ago, which I thought to be of very high-quality at the time.

Choice appears to have less risk due to its size (705 investment properties) and the loan to value ratio appears commensurate with peers.

However, there seems to be a huge number of equity units outstanding after factoring in the exchangeable units. As well, what really appears unusual for CHP.UN is that it trades at a significant premium to NAV whereas most entities in the Canadian REIT universe currently trade at a discount to NAV.

Thank you

Q: Could you comment on earnings and an updated outlook?

Thanks in advance. - Jeff

Q: What is your opinion of BRDG:US as a source of income in a retiree's generally well-diversified portfolio?

Thanks!

Q: With AI growing rapidly, do any REITs in Canada stand to benefit? Allied Properties had such a presence but sold to reduce debt (and keep their dividend). I'd rather a Canadian than a US REIT if possible.

Q: A recent question/answer mentioned AGNC,NLY, BXMT. All have high yields 13-14%
Are these rates sustainable over a 3-5 year period. Would AGNC likely be the safest with only a 10.3 PE?

Thanks

Q: Can you comment on the quarter vs expectations. I thought results looked very strong with a nice NAV increase q/q but market didn’t care? Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i Team
Please comment on MEQ.CA latest earnings.
Thank you.

Q: Hi, this stock has been down since its IPO at US$13.00 two years ago. Is there any hope for this stock in 2024? This REIT is quite small, so for example, could Dream privatize it, as Brookfield did for BPY ? What is the financial picture (ratios)?. If I did sale for tax loss, is it worth buying back?
If I’m right, their financial results will be published tomorrow (May9). So please comment on their earnings. Thanks a lot.

Q: Comments on the quarter?

Q: thoughts on earnings

Q: Can I get your opinion on mortgage backed securities (US) for one’s income portfolio? Do these increase in value as interest rates decrease similar to bonds? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,

Do you still see a positive future for CAR.UN? Could you please indicate whether their distributions are eligible for the dividend tax credit?

Many thanks!

Q: I don't understand. MRC does over $1 bil in rev, has only 11 mil shares, never issues more; yet pays almost no div, has a lousy ROE and the current stock price of $110 is almost as low as ever. Yet it has a tangible book value of $355, over 3x it's stock price. That's just weird. Why isn't the price much higher? Is it so badly run that no one wants to pay for that value? Help me understand the issue(s) here please. Thanks so much.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on this company, especially in regards to the sustainability of the dividend which is quite high.

Q: A quote from the Business Insider: "Prospective losses, refinancing woes, international contagion, and panic selling combine to create a bleak outlook for the commercial property sector."

I'm guessing the Office sector is perhaps the most risky portion, but how concerned are you about these three industrial REIT's with regards to the overall CRE outlook? PLD apparently has an A-rated balance sheet which I would guess help them survive compared to many (?) It also appears that much has maybe been priced into the respective stock prices of these.anada

Q: Do you like this stock ? Do you add at this level ?
Thanks !

Q: I need to raise some funds and am looking at selling a position in DIR.UN. I have read the past questions and overall you are fairly positive about it, if one is patient. I probably will not be in this for the long term....though not your usual way to look at stocks, would you be able to do some technical analysis to get some idea whether this will bounce back from its recent downturn, at least a bit, in the next month or two?

Thanks much for your excellent service.

Q: Assuming the CSGP offer to buy MTTR proceeds, would you see CSGP as a Hold or Sell for current owners of MTTR? Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i!
I have held on to Riocan for a long time. I am underwater with the stock but with the dividends I have received, the stock has paid for itself. Is it time to move on or do you foresee good prospects for a recovery?
Cheers,
Tamara
