Dennis Mitchell, CFAPrimaris REITPMZ.UN.TOBUYFeb 14, 2012

Was stalled at about $21 but has broken out a little bit. At these levels, you would get a 10%-12% all in return. Some volatility giving you a chance to buy on dips. Good name.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

HOLD
It has done well this year, trading between $12-16, now in the upper end. They were a spun-out of H&R REIT and came out with a clean balance sheet. They've prudently bought back shares. They keep meeting their benchmarks each quarter. It's appropriately valued. Do you want to own malls long-term? You think stores will continue to grow? If so, this is a good REIT. Many of their assets have an alternative use long-term. A solid hold and a trade.
BUY
Owns it in an income-seeking mandate he manages. Office portfolio spun off from HR.UN, which makes sense. Total return and income prospects are sustainable and compelling. Comfortable buying at these levels.
SELL

At $28 it is pretty fully valued. He would tender to H&R. You are getting full value.

COMMENT

Fundamentals are good. Leasing spreads were up 8.7% last quarter. H&R Reit (HR.UN-T) has made a bid to acquire them and it looks like this will go through. If this still works, the economy is going to have to be good for retail. H&R is probably going to be coming to market to issue equity. Fundamentals are still in place for REITs.

BUY

Offer made for $26, but he feels it is worth $28-$29. Enclosed shopping malls in Canada. Thinks the portfolio has a lot of value. Target is taking up a lot of locations in their malls. He would prefer it to continue to trade.

WEAK BUY

Fairly well distributed portfolio. Bought two malls recently and they are doing the right things. Got an upgrade to investment grade status. 5-5.5% dividend and modest capital appreciation. He prefers larger companies like REI.UN-T. They have access to capital and had quite a sell off.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) Owns Oakville Place and Burlington Mall. You can hold it for the yield.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Feels the street is underestimating the impact that Target is going to have when they move in. It will represent about a 3rd of their overall square footage.

BUY

Still has some upside here. Their quarter came in better than he thought. He was concerned that they would have issues with their tenant backfill being a bit down but was better than he thought. Balance sheet is very unlevered. Feels they are locked and loaded to do acquisitions and grow.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 4/11. Up 28.23%.) The only predominantly mall REIT in Canada. Haven’t done anything overly spectacular in the last year but it was cheap. Still sees some upside.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 4/11. Up 23.51%.) Have some great assets. Good management.
DON'T BUY
Not his favourite name. Growth trails its peers and yet it trades at a premium to the group. Unless they develop a stronger growth profile and start doing some acquisitions, he would not buy. Wouldn't buy unless it pulled back to $22.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 26/11. Up 15.77%.) Largest owner/operator of enclosed malls around the country. Great assets. A good core holding. Wait for a pullback before buying.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Stable cash flow and good management team.
HOLD
Great REIT, regional malls. Nothing wrong, but hasn’t been one of the strongest performing. Nothing very new going on Pretty well valued. A Core Holding.
