Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 14 opinions in the last 12 months.

Granite REIT (GRT.UN-T) is the largest industrial REIT listed in Canada, with a diverse portfolio and a significant lease to Magna, mostly in Europe and Austria. The company has well-run properties but has been stuck in a range due to uncertainty in the economy, slowing down approvals for large-space leases. The experts expect higher occupancy in the second half of 2024. Despite concerns about rent growth and supply from new construction, the stock is seen as a good investment opportunity, trading at a discount to NAV with a solid dividend and strong fundamentals in the industrial real estate sector.

TOP PICK
Granite REIT

It's an e-commerce play. They hold a lot of warehouses. It once held only Magna asses, but that has declined a lot. Likes management. Half of assets are in the US, with exposure to Europe. They can deploy capital to any of these markets and act nimbly to react to market changes. Has the best balance sheet among peers

Granite REIT

Doesn't like REITs now for poor returns, but does like Granite for its strong balance sheet, management, conservative payout ratio and are in the right sector, industrial which will pick up. Good track record of raising their dividend and a likely take-out candidate. If interest rates decline, the REITs will benefit. But it's not a business model for growth.

BUY
Granite REIT

Largest industrial REIT listed in Canada. Diversified. 30% leased to Magna, mostly in Europe and Austria. Well run, good properties. Stuck in a range, mainly because uncertain economy has slowed down approvals on large-space leases. Expects higher occupancy in second half of 2024. 10-15% discount to NAV, yield of over 4%.

Believes opportunity for catch up trade. Good time to buy at current price. Would recommend investing. Pause in interest rate hikes, good for business.

WEAK BUY
Granite REIT

Successfully diversifying away from reliance on MGA. Solid management, executes well throughout the cycle. Concerns about more supply from new construction. Rent growth muted. Great option, but he owns DIR.UN instead.

Granite REIT

Is selling at 75% of the NAV of the real estate. Also debt is 30% of its NAV, half of its peers. They can buy new buildings. They're in industrial real estate which remains in high demand.

GRT.UN vs. DIR.UN

Prefers this one. Better investment than DIR.UN. Steadier assets. Backed more by management. Only weakness is that US properties are suffering a bit. 

DIR.UN has good numbers, but issued equity in September, instead of selling assets, to get leverage down. Motivated by externally managed contract remuneration based on assets under management. Stock fell. Can't support management on any level. Supply's coming on, so the story's getting tired.

Granite REIT
GRT.UN vs. CAR.UN

Both are quality. Likes both sectors. Likes both, but if he had to choose, he'd pick GRT.UN.

In Quebec and BC, but CAR.UN is mainly a play on Toronto, a fantastic multi-family market, but there is rent control. Great supply/demand fundamentals, but hard to get the cashflow. Outperformed peers, so pullback is understandable.

Industrial warehouse sector continues to do quite well. GRT.UN focuses on Canada, US, and Europe, trading at a nice discount to NAV. Underperformed, not warranted. Concern about oversupply in US, but he thinks they're in a good position.

BUY
Granite REIT

Holds a nice, diverse portfolio of industrial real estate, not office buildings or malls. Pays a good yield. Is less levered than other REITs, so it has a lot of dry powder to buy companies and less effected by higher interest rates. Trades far lower than its NAV, maybe 80%.

Granite REIT

Large selloff in share price given rise in interest rates.
Industrial real estate not as strong as Covid-19.
Not many barriers to entry within industrial real estate. 
eCommerce growth will help demand for storage. 
Current share price a "hold".

TOP PICK
Granite REIT

It is much less exposed to interest rates than other REIT's and its leverage is only 33% of the balance sheet, less than other REIT's. Also it has little exposure to office towers. With more manufacturing there is more need for wholesale warehouse space so it is priced at a premium. It's interesting that the older warehouses have 14 and 18 foot ceilings whereas new ones have 30 and 60 foot ceilings due to robotics and stacking. Older ones are being retired.

REITs have been punished because of interest rates staying high. Opportunity to buy. Nothing wrong with the fundamentals. Likes it. Still huge demand for industrial properties with growth in e-commerce. Pricing power plus inflation-protected contracts. Yield is 4.3%.
