They argue that if NAV were truly over-reported, cap rates would crater, and if under-reported, they would shoot up, so the persistent gap suggests the market is mispricing the REIT. The author is not generally a REIT bull but finds the current entry price compelling. Main risk implied is that reported NAV could be inaccurate, though the author argues cap rate stability contradicts that.", "thesis_short": "CAPREIT trades at wide discount to NAV", "quote": "CAPREIT (I'm Canadian, drown me in Maple syrup) gap in 2021 was 30 cents price to NAV, it is now 19 dollars per share.
