The latest update is out from Morguard (OTC) ( (TSE:MRC) ).

Morguard Corporation has received an upgrade of its issuer and senior unsecured debenture ratings to BBB (low) with a stable trend from Morningstar DBRS, moving the company into investment-grade territory. The upgrade reflects Morguard’s strengthened balance sheet, focus on liquidity, and stable cash flows supported by its diversified real estate portfolio and asset management platform.

In recent years, Morguard has recycled capital through approximately $770 million of asset dispositions, directing most proceeds to debt repayment in a bid to enhance its financial profile and flexibility. The new investment-grade status is expected to lower financing costs, improve access to capital, and support the company’s long-term strategy, including its $1.0 billion co-investment with TD Asset Management in a Canadian multi-suite residential portfolio that will expand its residential exposure and recurring management fee revenue.

Morguard’s enhanced credit profile is intended to provide greater flexibility to optimize its capital structure and pursue growth opportunities while maintaining disciplined risk management. The company continues to prioritize a strong balance sheet, prudent capital allocation, and consistent cash flow generation as it executes on its strategic initiatives in the North American real estate sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:MRC) stock is a Hold with a C$145.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Morguard (OTC) stock, see the TSE:MRC Stock Forecast page.
