Citycon (Sell, TP: EUR4.00) - Many measures – but no solution

Despite its high leverage and upcoming hybrid bond call date and refinancing needs, Citycon proposed a DPS of EUR0.3 for 2024. Addressing its debt situation, it hiked its asset divestment target to EUR950m by end- 2025 (despite not yet reaching the target for 2024 yet). In addition, the company said it had agreed to buy the remaining 50% stake in Kista Galleria, albeit at a discount. We reiterate our SELL and have cut our target price to EUR4 (4.5).
