Yesterday, GBL hosted its CMD which included some 2027E targets for the approximate allocations to different sub-portfolios – what stood out was that the weight of listed assets would reduce from 60.0%+ currently to approximately 50.0% while private assets (direct private + GBL capital) could reach a weight of 55.0% (upper-end) within GBL's portfolio. We think that a private asset weight of more than 50.0% would make GBL more attractive since its portfolio will be only one of the few ways to gai...

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 Ita...

On balance, the revenue mix has positives and negatives, with positives stem...
Xior invited us to Copenhagen and Malmo to visit 3 properties out of the ex-Basecamp portfolio and presentations on other regions. The Basecamp deal transforms the DNA of Xior that can be replicated on a large part of the old portfolio. It also serves as an integration platform for acquisitions. While the timing of the deal hurt the company badly, there is an amount of goodwill (knowledge) that can be further monetized in higher rents and margins. The Basecamp “by Xior” platform caters largely ...

With 2 changes in our Dynamic Top Pick list (we add Azelis and we remove Solvay) we maintain a defensive stance on the market for 2H24. The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US ...
