Wallenstam (Sell, TP: SEK40.00) - Eyeing project starts once again

We consider the Q1 results neutral, and, adjusting for a JV one-off, we were in line on PFPM. Wallenstam is looking to start a development project in Q2 (only the second since Q3 2022), and management stated that rents have risen considerably in new developments and that it will only start projects in the best locations to meet demand right now. We consider the valuation demanding on cash earnings, and reiterate our SELL and our SEK40 target price.

Fully valued near-term

We maintain a neutral sector stance, but see near-term setbacks and consider risks tilted to the downside near-term due to strong sector performance in the past month, while market interest rates have risen. We expect two years of zero NAV growth, on average, due to yield expansion, and the sector theme to be deleveraging, with limited capex. We see few potential company-specific catalysts, leaving share prices largely driven by macro factors. We consider the sector fully valued near-term, at an...

Modest 2024–2026 growth outlook

We expect flattish 2024–2025 NAVps growth for our Swedish coverage, due to too-low asset writedowns in 2023, but 7% in 2026e assuming stabilised yields. We forecast a 2024–2025 FFOps CAGR of 5%, held back by: 1) maturing interest rate hedges; 2) expected rental growth slow-down; and 3) deleveraging hurting investment capacity. However, we consider this priced in at a sector NAV median discount of 27%. We maintain a neutral sector stance, and our top picks are Catena, Castellum, Nyfosa and Pandox...

Q4 reports flurry

Q4 reports flurry This week, Nyfosa reported solid Q4 results, but the market focused on it scrapping its dividend for 2023. Catena’s NAV grew by c7% QOQ in Q4, due to a landbank write-up, while Sagax reported 15% YOY PFPMPS growth for 2023. Corem also cut its dividend for 2023 and NAV dropped by 14% during the quarter. For KMC Properties, one-offs resulted in Q4 EBIT missing our estimate, while Citycon completed a share issue of EUR48.2m. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stock...

Mixed Q4s and a minor equity raise

Mixed Q4s and a minor equity raise This week, Castellum reported soft Q4 results, with net lettings of SEK-51m and soft market comments. Wihlborgs raised its DPS and carried out a modest asset writedown of only 0.5%. Hufvudstaden’s occupancy was solid, while Kojamo’s 2024 FFO guidance was below consensus. In other news, Balder said it would carry out a minor equity raise of cSEK1.2bn. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.8% for 2024e and 5.2% for 2025e.

Widening gap in asset writedowns

Widening gap in asset writedowns This week, Fabege reported solid Q4 results, but with a rather soft rental market outlook. Wallenstam’s Q4 PFPM fell 19% YOY, and the report surprisingly included no asset writedowns, while Entra reported a 4.2% QOQ drop in asset values, taking the decline since its peak values to c16%. Pandox’s Q4 operating results were mixed, but it updated its guidance for ongoing investments, resulting in a SEK300m NOI uptick for 2026e. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yi...

Wallenstam (Sell, TP: SEK40.00) - Asset values remain high

Q4 highlights were the slightly improved vacancy (5% vacancy in Gothenburg non-residential assets). The key negatives were: 1) 7% miss on PFPM versus consensus due to higher costs; 2) a DPS cut by 17% YOY; and 3) surprisingly no asset value write-downs based on its internal valuation method – its average residential yield is 3.5%, which seems elevated to us. We consider the stock valuation demanding on cash earnings, and given the soft outlook for development gains, we reiterate our SELL and hav...

Q4s, a tender offer and a bond issue

Q4s, a tender offer and a bond issue This week Atrium Ljungberg (HOLD, TP SEK220) reported solid Q4 figures and Corem (HOLD, TP SEK10) successfully issued a bond which reduces its refinancing risk. Entra (HOLD, TP NOK120) strengthened its balance sheet by selling its Trondheim portfolio for NOK6.5bn, and Aros Bostad (HOLD, TP SEK30) offered to acquire Besqab. In other news, Swedish Construction & Homebuilders reported mixed Q4 results. The average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover ar...

Raising our sector view to neutral

After almost two years with a negative stance, we have turned neutral on the sector as we are less concerned about interest-coverage ratios and could see improved sentiment ahead of the first policy rate cut. We expect the transaction market to pick-up in 2024, helping some names to continue deleveraging, reducing sector risks. However, as the market is pricing in around six interest rate cuts by end-2025, together with a ‘soft landing’ economic scenario, we expect high market volatility if mark...

Kojamo and Studentbostäder i Norden carried out debt refinancings. Atrium Ljungberg announced a final contract for Mälarterrassen at Slussen. Oscar Properties announced an asset sale. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.40% for 2023e and 5.13% for 2024e.

Wallenstam (Sell, TP: SEK45.00) - Valuation too rich

We reiterate our SELL but have raised our target price to SEK45 (33) as our estimates are highly sensitive to interest rate changes due to Wallenstam’s low-yielding assets, and we have raised our 2024–2025e FFOPS by 9–18%. However, we consider the valuation rich, as the stock is trading at a 2024e P/FFO of 28x, and we see soft FFOPS growth and a weak value creation outlook for its residential development business in our forecast period.
