What CAPREIT’s 2025 earnings tell you about the reshaped portfolio

Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:CAR.UN) has just reported its 2025 earnings, pairing weaker headline results with a sizable portfolio reshuffle that is drawing fresh attention from income focused investors.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, CAPREIT reported sales of CA$1,003.36 million, compared with CA$1,112.74 million a year earlier, while net income came in at CA$197.05 million versus CA$292.74 million previously.

Those numbers sit alongside over CA$400 million of non core asset sales in Canada and CA$784 million in Europe, as management trimmed the portfolio and concentrated more heavily on Canadian residential rentals.

CAPREIT’s latest earnings and portfolio reshuffle come after a mixed run for unitholders, with a modest year to date share price return of 1.43% and a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 3.74%, alongside a deeper 16.72% total shareholder return decline over three years that points to longer term momentum still fading despite the recent corporate activity.

If this reshaping of a large Canadian REIT has you thinking about what else might be changing under the surface, it could be a good moment to broaden your search with our list of 3 top founder-led companies.

With CAPREIT trading at CA$37.65, sitting at a discount to both some analyst targets and one intrinsic value estimate, you have to ask yourself: is there still a buying opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 18.7% Undervalued

With CAPREIT at CA$37.65 against a narrative fair value of CA$46.32, the current unit price sits well below the most followed valuation story and puts the focus squarely on what is driving that gap.

The ongoing shift of CAPREIT’s portfolio toward newer, well-located, low CapEx Canadian apartments with largely unregulated rents, combined with divestments of lower-performing and regulated assets in both Canada and Europe, positions the company to capture outsized rent growth and higher net operating income (NOI) in the context of a persistent housing undersupply and affordability crisis, directly benefiting revenue and margin expansion.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious how a slower revenue growth profile still underpins a higher fair value? The narrative leans on earnings expansion, fatter margins, and a future profit multiple that needs to reset meaningfully from today. The exact mix of those pieces is where the story gets interesting.

However, the story can change quickly if Canadian rent regulation tightens, or if elevated borrowing costs stick around and weigh on funding and acquisition plans.

Another View: Earnings Multiple Sends a Different Signal

The fair value narrative suggests CAPREIT is 18.7% undervalued at CA$37.65 versus CA$46.32. However, its current P/E of 29.7x looks expensive compared with the Residential REITs industry at 27.6x, peers at 23.8x, and a fair ratio of 16.9x that the market could move towards.

If the price starts gravitating toward that fair ratio instead of the narrative fair value, how comfortable are you with the valuation risk you are taking on today?
