The comparison leaves leasing growth and tenant demand as the central operating questions for the next report.

Results arrive October 21

What does the target cut mean?

BMO's reduction was tied to higher interest rates, according to Investing.com, while the firm still expected sector-leading growth in 2026 and 2027. That combination puts the upcoming revenue figure and the company's full-year outlook ahead of the result itself for investors assessing the revised USD 93.00 target.
