Bear CaseDownside scenario
$29.0020%

Geopolitical tensions, trade protectionism, or unfavorable revisions to the USMCA agreement slow down nearshoring investments in Mexico. High interest rates persist, increasing the cost of capital and compressing cap rates. Vesta experiences delays in its development pipeline or lower-than-expected occupancy in newly developed parks, limiting rental revenue growth and putting downward pressure on the stock.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$36.9050%
Matches the consensus mean

Vesta steadily executes its Route 2030 growth strategy, leveraging its $1.7 billion CAPEX program to expand GLA to 63 million square feet. Rental revenues grow at a double-digit CAGR, supported by stable occupancy rates around 90-93% and consistent leasing spreads. The valuation remains supported by solid fundamentals and a resilient balance sheet, with the stock trading in line with consensus estimates.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$43.0030%

Accelerated nearshoring momentum drives unprecedented demand for Class A industrial spaces in Mexico's key trade corridors. Vesta successfully executes its Route 2030 plan ahead of schedule, achieving higher-than-expected rental rate escalations and maintaining occupancy rates above 95%. Strong capital inflows and favorable USMCA trade terms support multiple expansion, driving the stock toward the high end of analyst targets.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
