High yield, diversified RE portfolio – BriQ Properties is one of the largest real estate investment companies in Greece featuring a €283m portfolio and annualized rental income of c€21m (following the completion of the transformational merger with ICI), translating to a c7.6% yield on income-generating assets. The portfolio is quite diversified across the logistics, offices, retail and other sectors, boasting top-notch tenants and almost full occupancy, with embedded inflation-indexed rents and a 5.5-year weighted average lease term.

Disciplined, income-focused strategy, bolstering the stock’s defensive characteristics – Unlike peers with more aggressive capex cycles, BriQ follows a measured investment approach, with just a €14m capex plan through 2026e targeting logistics expansion, selective office redevelopments, and hotel upgrades. Although this translates into lower optionality from pipeline execution and development gains than the case for peers, it also de-risks the thesis allowing the continuation of a generous – and highly visible – shareholder return policy equivalent to 70-75% of FFO, corresponding to 7-9% dividend yield in 2025-27e, the highest in the Greek REIC sector.
