The Canadian REITs on our list have exhibited strong three-year revenue CAGR as well as revenue growth estimates
SmallCapPower | July 31, 2019: REITs are generally sound long-term investments, as they typically offer high dividend yields plus the potential for moderate, long-term capital appreciation. Because of the strong dividend income REITs provide, they are an important investment both for retirement savers and risk-adverse investors. REITs are able to fuel their dividends from the stable stream of contractual rents paid by the tenants of their properties. However, today we will be focusing more on the capital appreciation side of REITs, looking at some of the fastest-growing Canadian REITs by examining three-year revenue CAGR and revenue growth estimates (this year/last year).
