Cross Timbers Royalty Trust has seen significant volatility, with a 66% plunge from its peak, making it reasonably valued long-term. The stock's performance is highly tied to oil prices, which have been negatively impacted by OPEC's production changes and global economic turmoil. Investors should wait for a lower entry point around $9.00 due to the weak oil market outlook before initiating a position.
CT REIT offers a solid 6%+ dividend yield, trades at a reasonable valuation, and has a strong relationship with Canadian Tire, its primary tenant. The REIT boasts a robust balance sheet, with 58% equity, 42% debt and $500M in liquidity, ensuring financial stability and growth potential. Lower Canadian interest rates enhance REIT attractiveness, potentially boosting investor interest and stock price, given the current 6.4% yield.
CT REIT's strong FFO and AFFO growth, despite higher interest expenses, supports its well-covered 6.4% dividend yield with a 75% payout ratio. The REIT retains more than C$70M annually to fund development, maintaining a low LTV ratio and stable debt levels. Trading at C$14.50, CT REIT's assets are valued at a net rental yield of 7%, with potential AFFO growth to C$1.30/unit by 2026.
I am moving towards an overweight position in REITs, including CT REIT, due to decreasing interest rates and expected earnings growth. CT REIT's FFO and AFFO remain strong, with a 3.6% AFFO increase, despite higher interest expenses, thanks to rent hikes and new income-producing properties. CT REIT's dividend yield is 6.03%, with a healthy payout ratio of 73%, and a history of gradually increasing distributions.
