Lamda has announced the sale of another tranche of land plots within the Ellinikon. It is selling land with a buildable area of up to 86k sqm, with uses ranging from residential (30k sqm), office space (37k sqm) and educational institutions (20k sqm). The selling price of EUR 120m exceeds the current book value of the plots (EUR 37m) significantly, again. In addition to the cash inflows, the deal should also front-load the P&L recognition of the profits from the Ellinikon, driving c.EUR 82m of a...

The tenant sales performance at the existing malls remains solid (up 6% vs. 1H23), and the progress on selling down the Little Athens apartments has been fast, with prices ahead of the budgeted levels. We also understand that the leasing demand for the two Ellinikon malls has been very strong, and we see some upside for the rent levels we were budgeting for in our initiation on the stock (June 2023). With the rates coming down, this should have a positive impact on the future valuations of the E...

Metlen Energy & Metals achieved a record H1 EBITDA of €474m in 2024 (vs €437m in H123), while also increasing its operating margin by 169bp to 19.1% (17.4% at H123). Revenue declined marginally (-1% to €2,482m) but Metlen’s diversified and synergistic business model across the energy and metals sectors is helping to grow its margins and diversity of earnings (towards RES/Utility/Metals and away from volatile natural gas supply). Both net profit after minorities and earnings per share increased b...

Lamda has closed the sale of five Ellinikon land plots for EUR 106m. We see the sale (which was flagged in advance, and which has been closed broadly in line on both timing and price) as positive. The transaction front loads P&L gains (c.EUR 76m, or EUR 0.4/share, a 5% NAV uplift), as well as cash inflows from the Ellinikon (c.EUR 106m, EUR 0.6/share, or c.8% of the company's market cap), and de-risks the project.
This morning’s (25 July) 1H24 results announcement should serve as a glimpse of a much-improved future, in our view, in that Metlen managed to counterbalance the sharp drop in energy prices during the period and increased its profitability. We also note that, as 2Q24 evolved, the prices for aluminium and, particularly, alumina increased significantly; while, at the same time, the wholesale electricity prices in Greece also moved markedly higher, reaching 18-month highs in July, owing to the coun...

We reinitiate coverage of Metlen Energy & Metals (Metlen), with a BUY and a SOTP-derived, DCF-based price target (PT) of EUR 45.5/share, implying 25% upside from current levels. We firmly believe that the upcoming 1H24E earnings release will demonstrate, once again, that the group’s many moving parts, while difficult to monitor, arguably, are a blessing in disguise, as they offset separate weaknesses in difficult industry conditions and, seemingly, work in lockstep to accentuate a rebound in the...
