What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($31.33). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (63/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($15.14 to $31.33) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
  • As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$49.93 $29.46 Fair Value $25.06 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $29.46 – $49.93 · fair‑value band $15.14 – $31.33 · the $39.75 price screens above the $25.06 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 3 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.

Analysis

CubeSmart (CUBE) currently trades at $39.75, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $25.06, implying the stock looks roughly 58.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $37.48 per share, and 3 of the 16 models we run sit above the $39.75 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $8.05, and 13 of the 16 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, CubeSmart generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of 28.9%. Revenue grew 3.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.6%. Net debt stands at $3.5B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $15.14 (bear case) to $31.33 (bull case); at $39.75, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 7% below its 52-week high and 16% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at −44% fair-value upside, at −37%, CUBE screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
