Retail Estates Out of Town stands its ground in an online world
In recent decades, OOT stores have become an integral part of the BE/NL retail sector ranging from large supermarkets to specialized retail chains. Traffic congestion around retail parks and the negative impact on inner city retail have become concerns, but OOT stores and retail parks remain a popular shopping destination. They withstood the e-commerce acceleration during COVID. In this note we discuss how the OOT segment adapted to the new online reality and managed to maintain high occupancy rates. We maintain our BUY rating and TP as the current discount to the EPRA NTA amounts to approx. 20%. We believe RET can return back to its growth track record as the Price to NTA gap closes on resilient financial performance. The recent quick re-letting of the failed FUN-shops was a perfect example.Retail Estates is a niche fixed-capital real estate investment fund that invests in retail properties located on the periphery of residential areas or along access roads to urban centers.
