RBC Capital Cuts Price Target On This REIT By 4%

• RBC Capital analyst Jimmy Shan has reduced the Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (TSX:CAR) (OTC:CDPYF) price target to C$66 from C$69.
• The analyst maintained the Outperform rating on the shares.
• Shan remarked that 1Q22 reflected a difficult winter but an increasing revenue forecast, which the second half should better reflect. Given the current valuation, NCIB is being considered with asset sales, the analyst noted.
• According to the analyst, the valuation is tricky—a glass-half-full investor considers the inflationary impact on replacement costs and rents, while a glass-half-empty investor considers the negative/thin investment spread impact on cap rates.
• Price Action: CAR.UN shares are trading higher by 0.27% at C$47.84 on TSX on the last check Wednesday.
