Boardwalk REIT ( ($TSE:BEI.UN) ) has shared an update.

Boardwalk REIT reported that it maintained strong same-property portfolio occupancy through the seasonally weaker winter period, with occupancy at 97.5% entering 2026, and continued to grow occupied rents over 2025. Management emphasized a strategy of flexible pricing on new and renewal leases to preserve high occupancy and margins in a more competitive leasing market, positioning the Trust to benefit from sustained demand for affordable, quality rental housing. On the capital allocation front, Boardwalk remained active on its Normal Course Issuer Bid, deploying about $57.3 million in 2025 to repurchase units at a significant discount to its estimated net asset value, while funding these buybacks and other initiatives partly through property dispositions at or near IFRS values. The recent sale or agreed sale of three Edmonton communities for a combined $56.5 million underscores its disciplined recycling of capital from mature assets into higher-return opportunities and unit repurchases, reinforcing balance sheet strength and aiming to enhance unitholder value.

The most recent analyst rating on ($TSE:BEI.UN) stock is a Buy with a C$69.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Boardwalk REIT stock, see the TSE:BEI.UN Stock Forecast page.
