VGP 10m Results, pre-let recovers to 76% in November

The 10m24 statement came in line with our estimates on new developments. The important data point of pre-let% in the pipeline recovered from 70.1% at the 1H24 to 72.5% at 10m24, but already increased to 76.3% after signing additional leases for 16m since. The market recently panicked on negative economic news, mainly on GE. We believe that the market anticipates a further decline in Pre-let, which is not the case. VGP re-accelerated its development activity to new geographies like Spain and Italy. The JV cash recycling also continued and the occupancy% remains strong at 99%. VGP already hinted at EPRA Berlin to be working on a Datacenter initiative and has identified a plot in the landbank. We like the focus on the cash return through JV's and well diversified development activities. We maintain our Buy and 125 TP.
