RE:RE:RE:RE:Upgrade today. From Globe and MailThe ones predicting a bad recession are the billionaires, Bezos, Icahn, Musk. News flash.. these guys are rich because they do the opposite of what everyone else does. They would love for investors to panic, selloff back to their lows where they are ready to buy it all up again for peanuts.

If they go on a purchase spree like you said they will have to dilute shareholders at much lower prices. Also in a severe recession most small and medium sized businesses are trying to survive the recession and not try to grow their business.
A severe recession does not help anyone least of all DIV.

CIBC World Markets analyst John Zamparo thinks Diversified Royalty Corp.’s (DIV-T +2.32%increase) $80-million acquisition of a royalty stream from Stratus Building Solutions “adds diversity and exposure to a recession-resilient industry, while its structure provides some protection if inflation lingers”
“Importantly, the equity raise solidifies the balance sheet for future deals, which seem more likely now that DIV has a blueprint for U.S. businesses,” he said. “DIV’s shares have rebounded of late, but we believe upside still exists. In what could be difficult economic conditions, DIV’s royalty structure and the continued solid performance from Mr. Lube should limit downside. Furthermore, we find the distribution attractive (7.9-per-cent yield), and the monthly payout structure is a compelling feature for investors in an uncertain macro environment.”
With that view, Mr. Zamparo raised his recommendation to “outperformer” from “neutral” with a $3.50 target, up from $3.25. The average is $3.98.
“DIV offers investors a relatively stable business with a high-quality flagship asset, a moderate level of diversification, attractive monthly income and a responsible payout ratio (we estimate 93 per cent for 2023),” he said.
