Hufvudstaden (Hold, TP: SEK145.00) - The slowdown looks fully priced in
We believe the Covid-19 crisis is likely to have a significant impact on Hufvudstaden, as we expect its retail and Stockholm CBD office segments in particular to see higher vacancies and lower market rents. Despite its strong balance sheet and the sector’s lowest gearing (LTV at 16%), with the stock trading at a 30% NAV discount (an implied asset discount of c25%), we believe the Covid-19 crisis is fully priced in. Prior to the Q1 results (due on 7 May), we reiterate our HOLD, having cut our target price to SEK145 (200).Hufvudstaden AB is a property company that owns and manages 30 properties, located in the central parts of Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden.
