Spanish Property: Look for either growth or value

We update our models ahead of the 1H17 results season, where we expect renewed yield compression to drive NAV growth of 5-9%. The sector is trading at a discount to our revised and higher NAV’17E, which is positive, although office rental growth is still modest, and this can be disappointing. In this context, we recommend looking for either clear growth visibility (Hispania) or deep value (Lar). We reiterate our BUY rating on these two names. We downgrade Colonial to Neutral on lower upside potential and remain Neutral on Merlin and Axiare.
