Argan FY25 in line, aiming for 2 bond tranches, but no pressure

ARGAN reported FY25 EPRA net profit at €154.8m vs. our expectation of 153.3m. Argan already reported its annual rental income of €212.0m rental income in FY25, up 7% from FY24. Outlook FY26 guides for a Rental Income at 220m vs. 217m expected. The FY26 EPRA EPS is guided to approx. €6 vs. €6.04 expected. Argan plans 2 tranches of bond issues between April and October for a total between €500m and 700m. A “bridge to bond” has been agreed till November 2027 to relieve pressure (at a cost). The CFO explained that they expect to refinance at 3.5% on a maturity of 5-6yrs. We believe that corresponds to a 100-110bps spread. Recently, some bond issues in the sector like CTP and VGP enjoyed big demand. The company also continues to reduce the historic mortgage debt. Overall in line results, while the share price is protected by it low valuation below 11x EPRA EPS.
