Atenor Long-term optimism clouded by short-term uncertainty

At the last Q3 FY22 results, Atenor issued a profit warning for FY22 and indicated that the group would only break even (net result close to €0.0m) due to buyers postponing asset purchases. They choose to “wait and see” what happens in the marketplace. On the other hand, Atenor strengthened its FY23 outlook as the company expects to complete all the postponed FY22 sales while also being confident on closing all asset sales planned for FY23. We believe that Atenor's medium to long-term prospects look promising due to Atenor's highly diversified project portfolio, experienced management, and established position in Europe which helps scout projects. These offer a higher gross margin than Atenor's hurdle rate of €480.0 per sqm. However, over the short term, due to a weaker FY23 economic outlook, the FY22 profit warning, and uncertainty over asset sales during FY23, we remain cautious and re-initiate with a HOLD rating and €57.0 TP.
