Joshua VargheseRealty Income CorpOBUYOct 09, 2019

The business of realty income is good. They buy big portfolios of real estate and have the low cost of equity to allow them to make acquisitions. They often offer sale lease-backs to the owners of the assets they buy. You would not be hurt to buy it even here.

BUY

Likes it for its generous monthly dividend (5%) which they have raised 119 times in the past 29 years. But urban office real estate is falling apart in some areas. He's still a fan.

BUY
Owns retail real estate, a sector that has been over-punished. Clients include Dollar General, which is recession-proof, Walgreen, 7-11, FedEx and Dollar Tree. Is a dividend machine paying 4.6% that it keeps raising.
DON'T BUY
One of largest REITs in the US. Monthly dividend around 4%, so that's the attraction. Long-term leases to single tenants. Large premium to NAV. Will continue to grow, well diversified, dividend is well supported. High valuation means it's not for him.
HOLD
Predictable cashflow. No one lease can hurt them. Well diversified credit base. Be careful of these high dividend REITs if interest rates rise. Hold if you own it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 12/19, Up 17%) They're rebranded themselves as the Monthly Dividend Company and two days ago joined the S&P Dividend Aristocrats Index, a rarified space; enter it by paying dividends for 25 straight years. It's a core holding.
BUY
One of the largest REITs in the US. They are doing interesting things for a company this large. They have long leases. They are trying to branch out. They went abroad and made an interesting investment in the grocery space.
TOP PICK
Has long had low volatility. At 3.75%, they bill themselves as the S&P's dividend company. They only 5,600 free-standing companies with tenants who also pay operating costs. That's a good set-up. Only less than 1% of tenants are high-risk. They haven't missed a dividend since 1964. (Analysts’ price target is $66.48)
COMMENT

In the US, they have a whole group of REITs called “Triple Net REITs”. This is where they will basically go to a company and say “You own your building and I will buy it”. It gives a cash inflection, but in exchange for that you would want a long lease. Because of these very long safe leases, all the expenses are in the hands of the tenant, so it is a very safe cash flow stream, like a bond. However, we are going into a point in the interest rate cycle where you perhaps do not want to be owning a bond. Dividend yield of 4.1%.

DON'T BUY

Triple-net, meaning that they buy a building that is occupied and owned by the tenants, in exchange for a long-term lease. A very low risk, but very bond-like. They’ve been doing well recently with the collapse in interest rates. However, when interest rates reverse you don’t want to own this. Considering that this and bonds in general have had a great run, this is probably not the time to be buying.

COMMENT

This is a great time for REITs. They have been phenomenal creators of value. You need to really focus in on high quality ones. All of them, no matter how good, suffer from a rate rise risk. Cap rates are pretty low now and real estate has done extremely well. There are a lot of good reasons to suggest they are good companies, but the timing is tough. Broadly speaking, in real estate, he feels this is a cycle we are going into now. Anybody who is in the brokering side of it, as opposed to the operating side, you are probably a little bit better off. You could consider CBRE Group (CBG-N) which should work a little bit better for you.
