Granite Renews Its Buyback After a 40% Year

Granite REIT is returning capital from a position of strength. On May 22, 2026 — the same day its units touched a 52-week high of C$97.22 — Granite renewed its Normal Course Issuer Bid, the kind of move management makes when it reads the units as worth more than the market is paying per TMX. The buyback caps a strong run for the units.

Key Takeaways

• NCIB renewed May 22, the day units hit a C$97.22 high.
• Units set a fresh 52-week high of C$97.22 on the renewal day.
• A 98%-occupied logistics book across 145 properties, 6 countries.

A Logistics Book in Demand

The renewal sits on top of a portfolio built for the moment: 145 properties totaling roughly 61.5 million square feet across 6 countries, focused on logistics, warehouse, and industrial space in North America and Europe, and running at 98% occupancy per Marketbeat. Following the Q1 2026 results on May 7, 2026, brokerages stayed constructive, with Canaccord Genuity setting a C$105.00 price target against a unit price near C$96.44. The watch item is concentration — Magna International remains a significant tenant — alongside pockets of industrial oversupply in the US Midwest per Stockchase.

The Market's Read

The units have been among the year's stronger industrial performers, setting a fresh 52-week high of C$97.22 on May 22, 2026 before easing to about C$96.44.

The Bottom Line

Granite is buying back stock into its own strength, not its weakness. With the units near C$96.44 against Canaccord's C$105.00 target and a logistics book holding 98% occupancy, the renewed bid reads less as price support than as a confidence signal — management spending on its own units while the operating numbers still back the run.
