StorageVault CanadaSVI.TOWATCHJul 24, 2026Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jul 24, 2026. Market Open.
SVI operates in a structure relatively similar to a REIT but is much more growth-focussed. It needs to utilize debt in order to be able to grow its portfolio of assets which it rents out. It has also grown primarily via acquisition. The rising rate environment has created cost pressures, however we do think the outlook is positive. As Canada has already begun cutting rates, we think SVI stands to benefit from lower interest expenses (bottom-line expansion) and being able to isse more debt to finance growth (top line expansion). The industry is capital intensive so while high debt is a risk, it is somewhat unavoidable. We like the outlook for SVI.

He knows the CEO, and the plan is not to increase the dividend in a material way. The idea is to grow by acquiring additional storage facilities. Free cashflow got out of line during Covid. Business is now more stable, with lots of opportunities to grow.
