  • Top 4 TSX Stocks to Buy Now: Canadian Apartment Properties REIT and goeasy Stand Out
    January 23, 2026, 10:17 PM EST. Investor uncertainty persists amid shifting markets and economic concerns, but quality Canadian stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) offer long-term potential. Among them, Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (TSX:CAR.UN) stands out as the largest residential real estate investment trust (REIT) trading at a discount due to temporary headwinds including higher interest rates hurting near-term growth. CAPREIT provides steady cash flow and a diversified apartment portfolio across Canada, making it a low-risk buy. Also notable is goeasy (TSX:GSY), which appears undervalued amid concerns over rising bad debt. With expectations of interest rate cuts in 2026 possibly boosting sectors, investors should focus on quality, valuation and resilience in uncertain times.
