TSX:CHP.UN Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Jul 2026
TSX:CHP.UN Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Jul 2026

FFO Of CA$780.3 Million LTM Versus Net Losses

  • Over the last 12 months, Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust generated CA$780.3 million in Funds From Operations on CA$1.46 billion of revenue, while reporting a net loss of CA$74.3 million over the same period.
  • What stands out for a bullish view is that cash style FFO has been positive in every quarter listed, from CA$190.9 million in Q1 2025 to CA$192.9 million in Q2 2026. However, critics can point to the recurring net losses, including a loss of CA$176.4 million this quarter, as a clear tension between cash generation and accounting profitability.
    • This supports income focused bulls who care about FFO per share, which sits at CA$1.08 on a trailing basis, but also gives bears material grounds to question how much of that cash flow ultimately reaches the bottom line.
    • The contrast between a positive FFO trend and declining earnings of about 15.2% per year over five years keeps the debate open on how sustainable current cash flows are if loss making trends persist.

Revenue Forecast Near 16% With Persistent Losses

  • Revenue is presented as being forecast to grow around 15.95% per year, yet trailing 12 month net income shows a loss of CA$74.3 million and Basic EPS over that period at a loss of CA$0.23 per unit.
  • Bears argue that the multi year decline in earnings and weak interest coverage outweigh the appeal of forecast revenue growth, and the current figures give them clear data to point to.
    • Over the past five years, earnings have declined about 15.2% per year, and recent quarterly losses of CA$87.2 million in Q1 2026 and CA$176.4 million in Q2 2026 line up with that concern rather than easing it.
    • The commentary that interest payments are not well covered by earnings is consistent with this pattern of losses, even though revenue across the last four reported quarters has stayed in a tight band around CA$346.4 million to CA$392.5 million.

CHP.UN Valuation And 4.9% Yield In Focus

  • At a unit price of CA$15.93, Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust is cited as trading on a P/S of 3.6x versus peer and industry averages of 5.9x and 7.1x, with a 4.9% dividend yield and a DCF fair value of CA$20.93 suggesting the price is about 23.9% below that modelled level.
  • Supporters highlight that this discount and income profile heavily supports a bullish valuation angle, while the ongoing net losses and interest coverage issues keep more cautious investors focused on balance sheet resilience rather than just the multiples.
    • The trailing 12 month FFO per share of roughly CA$1.08 compared with the CA$15.93 unit price implies investors are paying a modest multiple of FFO relative to the DCF fair value, which strengthens the view that the unit is priced below what the model suggests.
    • At the same time, the fact that net income remains a loss of CA$74.3 million over the last year means the lower P/S multiple and DCF gap sit alongside clear financial risks, especially with interest coverage flagged as weak.
