  • Primaris REIT Q1 2026 Results Show Strong Leasing Momentum and Low Leverage
    May 3, 2026, 3:47 PM EDT. Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:PMZ.UN) posted Q1 2026 sales of C$177.04 million and net income of C$41.92 million, with higher diluted EPS from continuing operations year-over-year. CIBC Capital Markets reaffirmed a positive stance, citing improved leasing momentum and higher long-term funds from operations (FFO) per unit estimates. The REIT's low leverage profile supports capital expenditure funding and steady monthly distributions. While the stock shows a potential 44% undervaluation with fair value estimates ranging from C$20.83 to C$33.95, risks remain from financing cost sensitivity and revenue growth. Primaris's investment case hinges on maintaining occupancy, rent resilience, and disciplined capital allocation amid market uncertainties.
