RE:Assuming no NCIB is posted today
RE:Assuming no NCIB is posted todayAs has been previously said - it would make sense to stop if Samir knew it was going to be a bad quarter. But real estate is a fairly predictable business and one would think Samir would have known more than 1 week ago that it was going to be a bad quarter.
Maybe it is part of some strategy to use only a certain percentage of their NCIB at particular price points and/or over particular periods of time. Both Artis and Dream Office have gotten burned in the past using up their entire NCIB at prices they thought were good only to see prices fall much further.
It would have made sense to temporarily pause in the immediate aftermath of the American banking troubles until Artis could reassess the situation here in Canada. But that's not what was done here. The NCIB proceeded "business as usual" and then abruptly stopped. I don't have a clue what the strategy is here.
