Generous dividends are the prime attractions of real estate investment trusts (REITs). But this year, interest rate hikes haven’t been good to the asset class. The Bank of Canada has raised its benchmark rate four times already and as a result, real estate prices are starting to fall. It also reinforces the notion that property stocks tend to fall when rates are rising.

However, not all REITs are in a precarious situation in 2022. Three REITs display strong leasing momentums and showing no signs of a slowdown. The real estate stocks can help you receive easy passive income every month.

Transformation is underway
The TSX’s real estate sector is in a bear market (-21.63% year to date), although H&R (TSX:HR.UN) outperforms. The $3.6 billion REIT is beating the broader market at +4.12% versus -8.92%. Its current share price is $12.68, while the dividend yield is an attractive 4.33%. H&R owns a portfolio of high-quality residential, industrial, office, and retail properties in North America.

In the first half of 2022, net operating income (NOI) declined 22.9% to $238.5 versus the same period in 2021. However, it was offset by the 325.47% year-over-year increase in net income to $1.08 billion. In the second quarter (Q2) 2022, net income increased 18.54% to $112.5 million compared to Q2 2021.

Tom Hofstedter, H&R’s chief executive officer (CEO), said the quarterly results highlight the quality of the properties and the embedded growth within the portfolio. Investors should be happy to know about the REIT’s five-year strategic plan. The ongoing repositioning will transform H&R into a simplified, growth-oriented company that focuses on residential and industrial properties.

Stable occupancy
Crombie (TSX:CRR.UN) is one of Canada’s prominent national retail property landlords. This $2.75 billion REIT’s portfolio (294 total) consists of grocery-anchored, retail-related industrial, and residential properties. Empire Company, an iconic food retailer in the country, owns 41.5% of the REIT.

Don Clow, Crombie’s president and CEO, said the diversified portfolio continues to deliver consistent operating and financial performance including strong occupancy and healthy renewal growth.

He cited the 45% increase in NOI in Q2 2022 versus Q2 2021 and the committed (96.3%) and economic (95.9%) occupancies at the end of the quarter. Crombie trades at $15.55 per share and pays a hefty 5.55% dividend.

Solid fundamentals
Automotive Properties (TSX:APR.UN) owns 73 income-producing automotive dealership properties and belongs in a sector with solid fundamentals. In Q2 2022, the $631.5 million REIT reported a total cash NOI of $17.1 million, a 6.7% increase from Q2 2021. Rental revenue also increased 6.5% year over year to $20.83 million.

According to CEO Milton Lamb, the Automotive Properties is well positioned to pursue future acquisition opportunities because of its low debt to GBV (gross book value) ratio and strong liquidity position. Moreover, Dilawri, Canada’s largest automotive group, recently announced an increase in its ownership position in the REIT. If you invest today ($12.88 per share), the dividend offer is a juicy 6.23%.

Resilient portfolios
Some industry analysts say higher borrowing costs would prevent REITs from pursuing expansion plans. Others warn that highly leveraged REITs might even lower their dividend payouts. Still, the monthly dividend payouts of H&R, Crombie, and Automotive Properties appear safe.

Besides the leasing momentums, the three Canadian REITs have resilient portfolios and strong liquidity positions.

The best way to be successful is to have several stock strategies in place to ensure that failure is not an option.

You need to have a portfolio of solid stocks. To be a successful investor, you need to have a long-term perspective and the ability to ignore short-term movements. At the end of the day, we all invest with one goal in mind: Buy a stock at one price, and then sell it later at a higher price.

Therefore, the price we pay should always be the first and most important consideration. However, since no-one can accurately project a company’s future earnings, it is important to leave some room for error, or margin of safety.

Dear Investor: There are ways to get started building a portfolio that don’t require huge amounts of time or money.Your first step is to decide on your investment objectives. Pick your portfolio objectives with your risk tolerance in mind.

Some portfolios require monitoring on a daily basis, while others require only occasional checks. We strongly believe that you need to have a portfolio of solid stocks.

To be a successful investor, you need to have a long-term perspective and the ability to ignore short-term movements. We strongly believe each portfolio should contain at least 10 stocks, and 15 would be better.

In conclusion, look for mature, well-run companies, with good cash flow visibility, high returns on capital, and sustainable, competitive advantages. When you do find companies like this, resist the urge to get caught up in day-to-day fluctuations.

/ Tuesday’s inflation report could show prices moderating as gasoline and travel

« on: September 12, 2022, 10:03:27 PM »

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/12/inflation-report-could-show-cpi-moderating-as-gas-and-travel-costs-fall.html



Inflation is still sizzling hot but is expected to have moderated in August, as gasoline prices dropped, supply chains improved and the cost of travel fell.

The consumer price index will be released Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET, and the report could be a bit messy since headline inflation is expected to fall while core inflation, excluding energy and food, should rise. The report is also key because it is expected to influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on how much to raise interest rates next week — and more importantly, in the long term.

CPI for all items is projected to have actually declined by 0.1% month over month in August, after a flat reading in July, according to Dow Jones. On an annual basis, headline CPI would then be running at a pace of 8%, down from 8.5% in July.
But excluding gasoline, core CPI is expected to rise by 0.3%, the same as July. On a year-over-year basis, that would make for a 6% increase, even hotter than the 5.9% gain in that month.

For the Fed, the report is widely expected to confirm it needs to keep up its fight against inflation with an interest rate hike next week of 0.75 percentage point, the third of that size in a row. If the inflation data is weaker than expected, some economists say there’s an outside chance the Fed could raise by just a half percent.

“If anything, the risk is it could come in a little bit weaker,” said Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies. “I have energy goods down 10.2%. That should knock off a half percent. I think the core is going to be more important.”
Watching prices at the pump

Gasoline prices are the biggest driver of the decline in energy. Since peaking at $5.01 in mid-June, the national average for unleaded gas has dropped all summer, to an average of $3.71 per gallon Monday, according to AAA.

Markowska expects headline CPI to decline by 0.2%, but sees a rise in core of 0.3%. Shelter is one area expected to rise, while used car prices are forecast to fall.

“I think we’re going to see a repeat in terms of airfares and hotel prices. They dragged down the core CPI last month. It looks like airfares will be down 8%,” said Markowska. “They were up 40% from March to May. We’re just unwinding a portion of that.”

Economists say the base effects of comparing the number to last year are behind the jump in August core inflation.

“Because of base effects annual core inflation will likely accelerate in the next two reports, which would make uncomfortable headlines for the Fed,” wrote Blerina Uruci, chief U.S. economist at T. Rowe Price. She said that it should not matter to central bank officials because they will be more focused on momentum, and will be watching the three-month and six-month annualized pace.

″But they are also sensitive to how it will look to the public and Congress. Even more reason to maintain a hawkish focus,” she added.

Strategists say the Fed’s Sept. 21 rate decision may be affected by the August CPI report, but the details inside that report may be more important in terms of what they say about the longer-term outlook. That could help shape the expectations for the Fed’s end, or terminal, rate when it stops hiking.
Looking to the endgame

Market expectation for the Fed’s terminal rate have been inching higher, and in the futures market, the view is it will reach 4% by early next year. Markowska expects it could reach 4% to 4.25% in January.

“This is where we start looking for whether there is a shift in core patterns, where the Fed can ramp down or not,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG. She expects policymakers to raise the fed funds target range by 75 basis points next week. That would take the fed funds target range to 3% to 3.25%. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.

“This gets them into tight policy. Then it’s a question of how tight do they want to go,” Swonk said.

This is a key question for markets, since some pros expect the Fed to pause by year-end. Others expect a pause early next year, and some investors believe the central bank will begin to reduce interest rates in the second half of 2023.

Fed officials, led by Chair Jerome Powell, have emphasized that they will raise rates and keep them there. Yet, the market is still betting that policymakers will not be as tough as their talk.

“I don’t think this report changes much for the Fed. I think the problem for the Fed is even as inflation is slowing, growth momentum is picking up in part because energy prices are lower,” Markowska said. “That’s boosting purchasing power.”

She said consumers appear to be diverting dollars that had been going to fueling their cars to other goods and services. That could keep the economy hotter than the Fed desires, and she is now expecting growth in the third quarter of 3% or more.

“That’s above-trend growth at a time when the Fed needs to engineer below-trend growth,” Markowska said.
