An update from Canadian Apartment ( ($TSE:CAR.UN) ) is now available.

Canadian Apartment Properties REIT reported 2025 results showing a smaller portfolio but stronger unit economics, as it completed about $2 billion of non-core divestments and sharpened its strategic focus on Canadian mid-market apartments. Investment property fair value edged down to $14.7 billion and total suites and sites fell to 45,905, while Canadian occupancy remained high at 97.3% despite softer market conditions.

Operating revenues declined year over year, but same-property NOI rose and margins improved, supporting a modest increase in diluted FFO per unit to $2.541 and higher distributions. Leverage ticked up slightly with total debt to gross book value at 39.3%, yet coverage ratios stayed stable and NAV per unit grew to $56.41, underscoring management’s message that the streamlined portfolio offers better financial resilience, operating efficiency, and a stronger cash flow profile for unitholders.

The most recent analyst rating on ($TSE:CAR.UN) stock is a Hold with a C$39.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Canadian Apartment stock, see the TSE:CAR.UN Stock Forecast page.
