CubeSmart (CUBE) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $45.23 the price implies FFO a share growing 3.9% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 2.6% a year over the last ten years, 1.6% over the last five. The price asks for close to its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 4.7%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 1.9% a year; CubeSmart went on to grow FFO a share 1.2% a year to FY2025.

FFO a share is worked out from CubeSmart’s 10-Ks and 10-Qs: net income, plus the depreciation of its property and impairments, less gains on property sales. It reported AFFO of $0.66 a share for Q3 2026.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Its assumptions

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · FFO a share
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 3.9% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Advanced inputs

Against CubeSmart’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.98 × equity premium 4.5% = 8.7% cost of equity; weighted, 8.7%.

CUBE trades at 29.83× P/E, against a 10-year average of 33.30× (range 24.63×–52.21×). That is cheaper than 67% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $50.49 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
