Retail Estates Sagax takes 10.8% stake in Retail Estates, upgrade to BUY
Yesterday evening Nextensa announced the sale of its 9.0% stake for 89.6m to an undisclosed party at EUR 66.3 per share. This morning, Sagax AB issued a press release that they bought a 10.8% stake in RET for 1,190m SEK (107m EUR). Sagax has been expanding its portfolio outside of Scandinavia. It has been active in the Benelux since 2016 and reported assets of 9.8bn SEK (884m EUR) in the Benelux. We welcome that the overhang of the Nextensa stake is cleared and a new active shareholder has entered the shareholding. This will most likely re-accelerate its growth strategy that became stuck due to the high discount. We raise RET to Buy from Accumulate as we now see a clear catalyst.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.
