*Support can be considered as an indicative stop-loss, and if prices move below that level on closing basis individuals may evaluate exiting the position depending on their risk appetite, previous holdings, and other factors considered. The support and resistance levels may need to be re-evaluated within 4-6 weeks’ time frame depending on the stock price movements from the date of recommendation on the stock.

**Target prices may vary by ±0.5% depending on market volatility.

Key Reasons for Buy

Consistent FFO Growth: Same Community NOI rose 2.7% YoY in Q3 2025 despite weak headline revenue. This signals cost discipline and operating leverage. Tax refunds and lower insurance costs are flowing straight to the bottom line. It shows management can protect earnings even in a soft rent cycle

Decent Rental Income Expansion: Net rental income rose 8.8% YoY to CAD 98.4 mn in Q3 2025, driven by higher rents across Ontario, Western Canada, and Europe. Decent tenant demand and lease-up of development assets supported growth. Rising rental income directly boosts operating leverage. This reinforces the REIT’s organic growth trajectory

Robust Leasing Spreads: The REIT achieved ~28% weighted average rental spreads on new leases, with Ontario spreads reaching 43%. This highlights significant mark-to-market rent upside. Market rents remain above in-place rents, providing continued re-leasing gains. Strong spreads position the REIT for sustained NOI growth

Considering the expected valuation upside, capital recycling strategy, discount to NAV valuation, healthy distribution coverage, investment-grade balance sheet, high liquidity position, private capital platform growth, resilient industrial demand, long-term organic growth visibility, and key business risks, a 'Buy’ recommendation has been given on the stock at the last closing price of CAD 13.05, as on February 13, 2026
