Altarea : Focus on margins and diversification

The property development sector remains disrupted by numerous headwinds, and we will have to wait until H2 2026 for a more pronounced recovery. That said, Altarea is ahead in the property cycle and should begin to benefit from the launch of its new programmes in 2025, with an initial positive impact on its margins. The group is also benefiting from the very strong performance of its cash-generating retail business and can count on the ramp-up of its new businesses in the long term. Existing liquidity covers needs until 2028 and should be supported by access to various debt markets. This provides comfort given the investment trajectory, which remains uncertain at this stage. We are taking advantage of the recent widening of spreads to move to a Buy rating across the curve (vs Neutral).
