anadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CAPREIT) will pay a dividend of $0.13 per unit for September 2025, payable on October 15. The trust also added $214 million of new assets, including properties in West Vancouver and Regina, reinforcing its focus on high‑growth, unregulated Canadian apartment markets while shedding less attractive regions.

    CAPREIT’s dividend policy remains steady, and its recent acquisitions support a long‑term growth strategy. Market‑wide gains in U.S. tech stocks and broader indices during the Fed‑rate outlook period left CAPREIT’s share price largely flat, despite a small dip last month.

    Key risks to consider include regulatory changes that could affect rental growth and affordability pressures that may squeeze margins.

    Over the past five years, CAPREIT delivered an 8.37 % total return (price plus dividends), outperforming its own historical trend but lagging behind the Canadian Residential REIT sector, which fell 17.1 % last year. The current share price of CA$41.71 is below the consensus target of CA$50.36, suggesting a potential upside of roughly 20 % if earnings and asset growth materialize.

    Analysts project continued revenue expansion and earnings improvement, but investors should weigh the identified risks.
