New York, NY, December 5th, 2023 (TopGun Press)
Below are some of the most topical Real Estate/REIT Stocks on the BWI Shareholder Confidence Index based on our daily chats with global investors. Below is a link to excerpts on Kilroy.
Investor sentiment across the sector has been a roller coaster and undoubtedly, interest rates challenged REITs and will be playing a major role during the start of the new year. Investors across the sector have been picking their options and their investment decisions have been more stabilized looking towards 2024.
SITE Centers: Although consumer retail remains a concern for investors, SITE Centers have found a way to attract investor attention and that’s mainly through David Lukes. Investor Confidence in the CEO has increased 5% in the last 2 months and confidence in Strategy has increased 27% in the same period, which is in part due to what investors say is improved communication. The CURB spin-off is a clear message to investors that the company is transforming, and so far, it has been well received.
Kilroy: The California based company is going through a management transition and investors want to know who will be replacing John Kilroy, the current CEO. Not knowing who will take over is making investors less confident, which is why Momentum of Investor Confidence has dropped. Kilroy hasn’t changed up their Strategy from being very San Francisco focused, which some investors say is the worst city to be an office-focused company in. (Click here for the Excerpts on Kilroy).
Vonovia: Investors in the BWI Panel say that the German market has been evolving, and while there has been issues with the rental growth and vacancy, Vonovia seems to be overcoming some of the problems that they were having at the beginning of the year including lower confidence in the Deutsche Wohnen acquisition. Investor Commitment to Own Vonovia has increased +8% Quarter over Quarter.
Dream Industrial: The industrial market continues to be tested and Dream Industrial has demonstrated an upward conviction trend opposite its peers. The appointment of Alexander Sannikov as the new CEO has been acknowledged by investors as a positive. Investors continue to have confidence in Dream Industrial’s balance sheet. Investors like that Dream Industrial are specializing in more urban centres. According to investors, it gives them the backdrop to outperform their peers.
Boardwalk: Despite Boardwalk’s stock having a strong year, investors are keeping an eye on the balance sheet, where leverage is the main concern for them in the coming year. Investors generally associate Boardwalk with their home-province, Alberta, even though they have been diversifying into other provinces. Some investors question why they want to diversify into less landlord friendly markets. Investor Confidence in Strategy has suffered lately, dropping 10% (QoQ), and Boardwalk has also seen a drop in the Momentum of Investor Confidence.
Below, we outline the companies with the biggest Quarter Over Quarter changes in the Momentum of Investor Confidence.
