I'm liking Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust MRG.UN
I've been playing with the screener software supplied with the TD WebBroker self-directed account. One stock that keeps appearing on my screens is Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (MRG.UN).
I began looking deeper into this REIT. I'm liking what I'm finding. I discovered that the TD analyst believes the present and future growth is not being reflected completely in the current share price. MRG.UN is rated a BUY with a Target Price of $18.50, up from $18.00.
Morningstar calculates a Fair Market Value for this stock of $18.32. I always like to pay less than the fair market value, if possible. At this moment, MRG.UN is selling for $17.43. Despite today being a down day, MRG.UN is up .81% .
The profit margin is 95.84%, well above the industry average. The ROE is 25.23%, more than twice the industry average. And despite yielding almost 4%, the payout ratio is only 10.35%.
As usual, all the numbers are not as good as those mentioned but reading the figures leaves me with confidence. It this stock takes a dip, I'll try and buy a few hundred shares. What would it take to make me a buyer? I'd like a yield of 4%. I'm retired, I need the cash flow to live.
Note: I am talking about Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (MRG.UN). I am NOT referring to Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust (MRT.UN). The one is MRG and the other is MRT.
