Care Property Invest Model update: Apricusa bankruptcy results in outlook below consensus

Care Property Invest reports FY25 in line with its 3Q25 guidance. In line with previous quarters there was a negative leasing spread (-1.08%), but the EPRA cost ratio further improved to 15.6% (+110bps). The FY26 outlook of € 1.07 EPRA EPS is below our expectations (€ 1.09) and below the € 1.11 consensus estimates. The difference is driven by the Apricusa bankruptcy announced early January (- € 0.02 EPRA EPS impact), lower than expected indexation forecasts (i.e. 1.3% for BE) and rent cuts/provisions for Belgian operators (Armonea/Orélia). We upgraded Care Property after the capital increase from Hold to Accumulate resulting in a 9.3% EPRA index outperformance as the whole of healthcare outperformed. To reflect the lower than expected outlook we have cut our rating from Accumulate to Hold yesterday at a lower TP of € 14 to € 13.5.
