Immobel Belgian Residential Market Check Up

In this note, we perform a reality check on the BE residential market. Immobel portfolio has 52% exposure to BE and 73% to residential (1H23). In recent quarters, housing inflation has lagged the general consumer price index. We believe that Immobel will continue to sell residential RE units at a lower rate that holds the debt ratio below critical levels (incl. JV debt). We made some adjustments to our model and valuation metrics. We lower our TP from €63.0 to €40.0 and reiterate our Accumulate rating. Our new target price amounts to a discount of 24% to the last reported book value (1H23). This discount offers a cushion for future potential losses. The recent easing in interest rates offers some support for potential buyers of the Immobel assets.
