LAMDA DEVELOPMENT | The value of the de-risking recovering consumer

In this note we present Lamda Development, Greece’s leading retail real estate developer & manager and owner of the Hellinikon development master plan.

We argue that having showcased impressive resilience during the recession, Lamda is well positioned to capitalize on a pick-up in economic activity, which will create favourable conditions for recurring rental growth combined with our expectation for yield compression on the back of sovereign de-risking. Our positive view is further supported by changing Greek consumer trends which gradually shift demand away from the high street and towards shopping centers.

We initiate coverage of Lamda with a ‘Buy’ recommendation and €8.30 TP, which is based on our assumptions for sustainable rental income growth of as well as yield compression for the existing asset base (including the extension of the Golden Hall shopping center). We also highlight that there is significant value creation tied to Hellinikon over and above our base case, should the project go forward.
