Everything is connected

Geopolitical uncertainty has affected market interest rates and thus the Nordic real estate sector – and we see no near-term fix. The yield gap (risk premium) has remained broadly unchanged in the recent market volatility, meaning interest rates changes explain most of the YTD share price performance – a correlation we expected will continue. The local office rental market remains soft, and we expect the logistics market to follow suit. However, given the deleveraging efforts in recent years and...

Balder (Buy, TP: SEK90.00) - Somewhat improving vacancy rate

Key highlights from the solid Q4 were: an improved vacancy rate (4.1%, Q3 4.4%); broadly flat property values (we expected a minor write-down); and optimistic comment regarding significant room for investments. We have cut our 2025–2026e FFOps by 4%, as we were too low on financial costs, but are still 3% above consensus on 2025e PFPM. We reiterate our BUY and SEK90 target price, due to the strong FFOps growth momentum in 2025e, low vacancy risk, and potential improved sentiment from re-entering...

Set for another subdued year

Volatile market interest rates, coupled with rental market weakness, indicate 2025 could be another year of subdued sector performance. The sector is trading at discounts to its historical averages on P/FFO (15.4x NTM) and NAV (26% discount), while the tight implied yield gap looks less appealing. Deleveraging efforts over the past three years have improved EBIT/NIBD metrics and reduced sector risk. We maintain our neutral stance, with one SELL recommendation. Our top sector picks are Balder, Ny...

Rising SWAP rates hit sector, weak rental update

The sector has traded down in recent weeks on rising long-term SWAP rates, resulting in multiples contraction, but we do not expect significant changes to consensus 2025–2026e FFO/EPS.

The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.42% for 2024e and 5.10% for 2025e.

Balder (Buy, TP: SEK90.00) - Set for a strong 2025

Ahead of the Q4 results, we have raised our 2025–2026e FFOps by 2–1%. We are 7% above Infront consensus on 2025–2026e PFPM due to higher revenues and a higher JV PFPM forecast. We see Balder as a sector top pick for 2025. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to SEK90 (92) based on an uptick in rates.
