- Asset management delivers strong capital growth

Circle Property’s recent trading update ahead of December’s interim results prompts us to revise our forecasts. 11% growth in the portfolio value to £103.5m, reflecting asset management progress rather than valuation yield, takes NAV per share to more than 200p. Circle also reports letting progress and lease renewals across the portfolio, including at recently refurbished assets. The latter have the potential to drive earnings and valuation significantly higher. Even before that, the shares trade at a hefty 24% discount to FY18e NAV and yield of more than 3%.
