Entra (Sell, TP: NOK190.00) - Q2 potentially end of an era
The Q2 operating figures were broadly in line with our estimates and consensus, and Entra again reported significant value gains, still aided by lower valuation yields. However, Norwegian interest rate hikes are drawing gradually closer, with Norges Bank guiding for Q3. We are concerned this could lead to rising valuation yields over time; thus, with several key valuation metrics at or close to all-time highs, we have downgraded to SELL (HOLD) and cut our target price to NOK190 (200). We expect an end to yield compression and high P/NAV premiums in Norway in the next 12 months on rising interest rates.Entra ASA (Entra) is a Norway-based real estate company.
