Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Altus Group Limited is a Canada-based global provider of asset and fund intelligence, valuation, and advisory services to the commercial real estate (CRE) industry. The company operates at the intersection of real estate, data analytics, and professional advisory, supporting institutional investors, asset managers, lenders, and developers across the real estate investment lifecycle. Its core activities span valuation and advisory services, market analytics, and software-enabled intelligence focused on commercial property assets.
The company’s primary revenue drivers come from a combination of recurring subscription-based software and data services and professional advisory fees. Altus Group is positioned as a specialized intelligence partner for CRE decision-making, leveraging proprietary data, valuation expertise, and analytics platforms. Founded in Canada in 2005 through the consolidation of several real estate advisory practices, Altus Group expanded internationally through organic growth and acquisitions, evolving from a valuation-focused firm into a global CRE intelligence and analytics provider.
Business Operations
Altus Group operates through two primary business segments: Analytics and Advisory. The Analytics segment delivers software, data, and analytics solutions that support valuation, portfolio management, performance benchmarking, and market analysis for commercial real estate investors. Key platforms include ARGUS-based valuation and cash flow modeling solutions, as well as Altus Group’s proprietary data and analytics offerings. This segment generates largely recurring revenue from subscriptions and long-term client contracts.
The Advisory segment provides valuation, cost consulting, property tax advisory, and strategic advisory services across multiple property types. These services are delivered by professional teams operating in local and regional markets, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Altus Group maintains several operating subsidiaries under the Altus brand that house regional advisory practices and analytics operations. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding material joint ventures beyond wholly owned subsidiaries.
Strategic Position & Investments
Altus Group’s strategy centers on expanding its analytics and intelligence capabilities while maintaining a complementary advisory presence that feeds proprietary data into its platforms. Growth initiatives have focused on increasing recurring software and data revenue, deepening institutional client penetration, and integrating valuation and market intelligence across geographies. The company has made targeted acquisitions to enhance its technology stack and data coverage, including past acquisitions of ARGUS Software and other analytics-focused businesses that underpin its valuation and modeling offerings.
The company continues to invest in cloud-based platforms, data normalization, and advanced analytics for commercial real estate, including performance benchmarking and scenario modeling. Altus Group is also involved in the application of emerging data technologies within CRE, such as enhanced market forecasting and portfolio-level risk analysis. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding material investments outside the commercial real estate technology and advisory domain.
