Brookfield (TSX:BN) Could Be 37% Undervalued As It Launches Preferred Share Offering

Simply Wall St · 4d ago

Brookfield (TSX:BN) has launched a new fixed income offering of Class A preferred shares, targeting CAD 150 million by selling 6,000,000 non convertible securities at CAD 25 each. This move provides an additional funding option for investors watching the stock.

Brookfield shares trade at CA$51.46, after the share price fell 13.57% over the past 90 days and declined 19.71% year to date. In comparison, the 3-year total shareholder return of 87.06% and 5-year total shareholder return of 30.51% point to stronger longer-term momentum that contrasts with the recent weakness.

Scan how Brookfield compares with other financial heavyweights raising capital by reviewing a hand picked list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals (7 results) in today's market.

Brookfield now trades well below the average analyst target while also carrying sharply weaker recent returns and a fresh preferred share raise. Is that simply market caution about earnings quality, or a mispriced asset manager with patience baked in?

Most Popular Narrative: 37% Undervalued

On the most followed narrative, Brookfield’s fair value sits at CA$82 against a CA$51.46 share price, which points to a sizeable valuation gap that hinges on how its asset management, insurance and carry streams play out over the next decade.

BN is a holding company with three earnings engines: a fee-earning asset manager, an annuity insurer, and stakes in real-asset operating businesses, plus a stock of unrealised carry. LTM distributable earnings before realisations (DE-bR) were US$5.65bn, or US$2.39 per share, up 7%; Q2 2026 alone was up 15% per share (Q2 2026 release) [CO].

See why 6 investors see Brookfield as 37% undervalued.

According to ANTONI0, the thesis rests on Brookfield’s ability to keep compounding those distributable earnings while gradually turning a US$9.6b pool of accumulated carry into cash, without overreliance on mark ups in the Wealth Solutions arm. The same narrative also flags that about a third of current core profits come from the insurer, where roughly half of recent segment earnings were tied to real asset gains, so investors need to watch both the underlying spread and the level of related party exposure in that book.

Put together, the narrative’s CA$82 fair value implies the stock trades at a sizeable discount that assumes either slower compounding, weaker carry realisations, or pressure on insurance spreads compared with that central case.

Result: Fair Value of CA$82 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, Brookfield’s narrative leans heavily on Wealth Solutions’ real asset gains and on carry turning into cash. Any setback in either could quickly flip sentiment.
