$PLZ.UN closed today at $5.30, slightly above the unsolicited offer of $5.28, implying the market is expecting a deal at $5.50 or more? That may be a bit aggressive as the REIT sector has dipped meaningfully (and $MRC.TO, the largest holder, said they would sell at $5.28).
Plaza Retail REIT reports solid quarter, and more importantly, discloses that more interested parties have come along since the Axia bid. $PLZ.UN RBC comments:

This should take some of the pressure off Toronto residential REITs $CAR.UN, $MRG.UN
The condo rental glut in the Toronto area is clearing fast. There were 5,978 condos for rent at the end of September, down 29% from last year and 44% below last November's peak. A short thread on what's going on. 1/

In a new note TD analysts detail the numerous problems with the H&R transaction, and set out the better alternatives if the deal is rejected. Apparently six institutional unitholders now publicly saying they will vote against. Snippet below, the deal is clearly unfair. $HR.UN

US CPI was higher than expected yesterday, but by the end of the day, yields were down. Now today the PPI is much higher, and the US 10-yr is down another 14 bps?! I think it was Peter Lynch who said if you spend 15 minutes a year thinking about macro you've wasted 10 minutes.

TD analyst cuts target prices for mortgage lenders on negative sentiment (no change to estimates). 🙄 Also, he seems to be having a problem with math. Timbercreek pays 69c in annual div, which does not get a $5.50 target at a 10.5% yield. $TF.TO

Last week's Starlink news pummeled telecom stocks. The threat to incumbent cellphone providers is debatable, and highly uncertain for Canada. Comments below from NBF. $BCE.TO, $T.TO, $RCIb.TO (and $CGO.TO now with a 8.8% yield! And a dividend increase expected this month)

RBC does a nice job a reviewing the errors and lack of fairness in the H&R/GO deal. And also highlights something mostly overlooked, the $436 million land sale. Just kill the deal, and use the proceeds of the land sale to buy back units = 17% FFO/unit accretion! $HR.UN

NBF latest Dividend All-Stars. They have a great track record with this list, and it’s always useful for new ideas.

This H&R circular is a painful read. $HR.UN received a $12.50 cash offer last year, when the units were trading at $10.65. Now we are looking at a garbage non-cash deal and trading at $9.40. The entire board should be fired.
$HR.UN circular is out and it shows that Hofstedter and the "commitee" turned down numerous superior cash offers to the $Go.U deal. Add these facts to the activist letter yesterday and Mr. Ho-Fraudster and "Shady Steve" Gross is clearly in trouble and won't be getting approval.
