Great job getting into other asset types by going vertically on what they already own. Operating income dictated mainly by WMT, which gives a very defensive profile, so he doesn't really worry. Flipside is very little growth. Tight cashflow coverage. Believes distribution of 8% is safe, even though payout ratio spiked above 100% temporarily. Better earnings growth elsewhere.
Doing its best to diversify into multi-family residential apartments in US Sunbelt, where supply is high, so operating income will be challenged. Execution story in a difficult environment for selling or transitioning assets. A hold. Discount to NAV, but headwinds to fundamentals. Still, prefers it to AX.UN.
Great portfolio, solid management. Surprising that it trades below its IPO price. Has had best-in-class portfolio, but not necessarily best-in-class balance sheet. Topline growth has not fallen to bottom line. Too much variable interest rate exposure.
Looking to sell assets to reduce leverage, giving them capacity to expand in BC market. Thinks troubles are behind them, "show me" in terms of execution.
