Aedifica New guidance on the investment targets

We increase our EPRA earnings estimates by approximately 4.5% after the FY24 results. In line we increase our target price from EUR 68.0 to EUR 70.0. The increase is driven by the higher than expected topline growth (2.7% like-for-like guided in FY25), the additional investment target of EUR 250.0m and improved operational margin. We expect the operational margin to increase by 35bps to 86.1%. This compares to the 10 year average at 83.4%. The performance is mainly driven by the UK market. Still the EPRA EPS growth in our model is muted at a 1.5% 3-year CAGR. After 2 years of underperformance, Aedifica started to outperform the EPRA developed benchmark. If this continues, we think more growth becomes self-fulfilling due to a lower cost of equity. We repeat our Accumulate rating.
