Risks
Interest Rate Volatility Risk: Rising interest rates increase Morguard's borrowing costs on its variable-rate debt and when refinancing maturing debt, which can negatively impact profitability and cash flow.
Economic Downturn Impact Risk: A significant economic recession or slowdown could lead to higher vacancy rates, reduced rental income, and lower property valuations across its commercial and residential portfolio, impacting financial performance.
Property Valuation Fluctuation Risk: Adverse changes in real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or decreased demand, could depress the value of Morguard's investment properties, potentially leading to asset write-downs and impacting its balance sheet.
