YIT (Buy, TP: EUR4.50) - Announces sale of Russian division
Q1 is low season for YIT – as it is for several peers – with a near-zero bottom line. On 1 April, YIT announced it had sold its Russian division for EUR50m (we had assigned zero value to the division in our SOTP following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and international sanctions). We expect rising interest rates to slow investor demand, prompting us to cut our 2022–2024 Housing segment forecasts. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to EUR4.5 (4.9).YIT provides services for the construction sector. Co. has two segments: Housing and Business Premises and Infrastructure. The Housing segment is engaged in the development and construction of housing, holiday homes and entire residential areas, with a focus on its own developments. This segment is also engaged in property maintenance in Russia. The Business Premises and Infrastructure segment is engaged in the development and construction of offices, shopping malls, public facilities, assisted living facilities and other business premises; renovation projects; construction of roads, bridges, tunnels, rail and metro stations, ports and power plants; as well as road and street maintenance.
