REIT SECTOR REPORT: IN A SWEET SPOT (ANÁLISIS BANCO SABADELL)

In a sweet spot.
The sector is in a sweet spot: rising rents along with ultra-low interest rates, or in other words, the best of both worlds. We release a sector report in which we reiterate our BUY recommendation in MRL (T.P. € 15.79/sh., +9% vs. previous T.P.) and LRE (T.P. € 9.82/sh., -10%), whereas in COL, following the strong performance in 2019 (+42%) we downgrade our recommendation from BUY to SELL (T.P. € 12.35/sh., +11%). We expect +13% NAV growth (2018-21) in COL, +7% in MRL and -1% in LRE. These figures, reflecting the different growth outlooks in the office and retail segments, are trading with a -26% discount to NAV in LRE, -13% in MRL and +9% in COL. Our top pick in the sector is MRL, thanks to its risk/reward ratio.
