GTC: It’s a bargain (stays BUY)

GTC is a bargain, in our view. The stock trades currently at 6.4% and 8.6% FFO yields on our 2018E and 2019E forecasts, well above its average 5.2% 1Y FWD FFO yield of the past three years. With its large development pipeline, GTC screens as the fastest-growing European real estate name, on the Bloomberg consensus. On its current share price, it also ranks among the cheapest. We forecast a 15% FFO CAGR between 2017-22E, despite integrating a recession into our forecasts. Turning conservative, we factor into our model that the rents will decline by 10% on average, across GTC’s portfolio, in real terms, over 2020-22E. We also expect the yields to expand by 50bps across the portfolio. Even under these conservative assumptions, GTC still stands out as one of the best combinations of value and growth in the entire European RE universe, in our view. We reiterate our BUY, and set our new price target (PT) at PLN 10.4/share, from PLN 11.7/share.
