The Q1 reporting season has started and several covered names have already reported. SBB announced it aims to raise SEK2.6bn in a D-share rights issue, which would be the 14th equity issue in the sector YTD. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 5.04% for 2023e and 5.40% for 2024e.
This week, Bonava and YIT gave profit warnings about their residential development units due to weak Q1 markets. Atrium Ljungberg and Fastpartner reported Q1 results, and we offer our read-across to the sector. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.91% for 2023e and 5.26% for 2024e.
This week, we reinstated a recommendation on SBB Norden and Atrium Ljungberg kicked off the Q1 reporting season. Corem carried out a large transaction, Nyfosa stated it would complete a bond repurchase, and Colliers reported muted transaction markets in the Nordics. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 5.04% for 2023e and 5.40% for 2024e.
Q1 began with a steady stream of equity injections in the sector, a risk we see continuing with inbound bond maturities, stressed IG rating thresholds, and pressured ICR covenants. The sector yield gap has improved somewhat following weak performance, but the risk premium remains well below historical averages. Given current funding risks, we reiterate an underweight stance.
This week, Cibus raised SEK810m in a directed share issue, we reinstated a recommendation on JM, Castellum made its acting CEO permanent; Swedish Logistics Property made a logistics acquisition, and it was reported the Swedish government might look at changing the rules for regulated residential presumptive rents. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.98% for 2023e and 5.33% for 2024e.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Swedish CPI for February and ECB rate hikes all made for a volatile week in the Nordic real estate sector. In other news, Corem agreed to sell more assets, and Catena agreed to buy a logistics park. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.98% for 2023e and 5.33% for 2024e.
Colliers (previously Pangea Property) reported the lowest monthly Nordic transaction volumes since 2014 for February. The European Parliament is due to debate the proposed changes in energy performance in buildings legislation next week; we see this as likely to lead to higher capex. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.92% for 2023e and 5.27% for 2024e.
This week, Balder became the first ‘fallen angel’ in the Nordic real estate sector after Moody’s downgraded its credit rating from investment grade (Baa3) to high-yield (Ba1), although it still has an investment grade rating from S&P (BBB neg outlook). Elsewhere, David Mindus, CEO of Sagax, was nominated as a board member at Nyfosa. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.88% for 2023e and 5.22% for 2024e.
Castellum announced a cSEK10bn fully underwritten rights issue on Monday, while NP3 raised SEK635m in equity on Tuesday and Balder issued a EUR480m convertible bond on Thursday. In other news, several companies reported Q4 results. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.44% for 2023e and 4.96% for 2024e.
Q4 rental income exceeded our forecast, and with lower-than-expected financing costs, FFO was 12% above our estimate. Property values fell less than reported by peers so far, which we consider fair given its higher yields and strong underlying performance. The stock remains illiquid, but fundamentally we see good upside potential. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK125 (120).
This week, Pandox (BUY, TP SEK170), Fabege (HOLD, TP SEK100), and Wallenstam (SELL, TP SEK40) reported their Q4 results.

The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.21% for 2022e an...
