Income94.3

A peer-relative read for reits on profitability (ROE, depreciation-adjusted), valuation, and covered income — the quality-growth (FCF/ROIC) screen doesn't apply to balance-sheet businesses. Not comparable to the 0–100 quality-growth score shown on other stocks.

Why now
REIT - Industrial · market cap $8.6b. 12% off the 52-week high of $43.26. 16 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $43.63 (implying +15% upside).
Moat
Net margin 29% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. ROE 12% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
Dividend payout 145% of earnings on a 5.7% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
Horizon
1-3 yr $43.63 (16-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $63.87 at ~11% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $94.75 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect CUBE to earn is materially higher (+7.1%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

CubeSmart (CUBE): score, valuation & FAQ

CubeSmart (CUBE) is a REIT - Industrial company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Yield (A-).

Is CUBE a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings grades CUBE on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by Yield (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of CubeSmart's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

How does Bull Rankings grade CUBE?

As a bank, insurer or REIT, CUBE isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on Yield (A-).

Is CUBE overvalued or undervalued?

We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow value for CUBE, and not because the business is unprofitable. For a lender, insurer or property trust, "free cash flow" measures balance-sheet growth rather than owner earnings — loan originations and repayments run through operating cash flow — so discounting it would produce a confident-looking number with nothing behind it. CUBE is judged on book value, return on equity and income cover instead, which is what the financial-strength card shows.

What are the main risks of investing in CUBE?

Dividend payout 145% of earnings on a 5.7% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
