MM’s Thoughts on CLW?

CLW again- I see its been touched on previous. Good yield, solid low risk business even with rates as they are- question is around the NTA and the large difference in price- has to be some value ? Even if its meets somewhere in the middle- feel like there is -10% there plus you get the yield to wait? what else might they do to bring these together?

Answer

Hi Justin,

The Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (CLW) as you say is a very high quality property company, good, primarily government tenants on very long leases. The fact it is trading at a discount to NTA tells you the market believes the value of their underlying portfolio will come down over time through lower valuations – or in other words, the market is forward looking and is already pricing a degree of pain to come. To close the gap between NTA which sits at $6.17 and the share price which is $4.46 requires one of two things. The NTA falls or the share prices rallies. For the share price to rise, I suspect they will need to show evidence that their property portfolio is not declining in value over time. Another consideration here is longer dated bond yields. Rising yields are a negative for CLW, falling yields are a positive – I tend to look at CLW as a longer dated bond paying a forecast  yield of 7.08%. Bonds have been sold off pushing yields sharply higher. We think this is a mature trend and if that is the case, CLW should be at a low point. I like it here for those with some patience.
