Entra (Hold, TP: NOK105.00) - Continued asset value decline

Entra reported weaker underlying Q1 results than we expected, as well as still-declining asset values (-2.5% QOQ) due to higher yield valuations. On increased market interest rates, we have cut our 2024–2026e FFO by c12–16%. We reiterate our HOLD, but have lowered our target price to NOK105 (115).

Not what we wanted, but 100 is the new 80

Weak report on most metrics. Large long-term potential. BUY, TP of NOK 135.

Atrium Ljungberg (Hold, TP: SEK200.00) - Cost control behind PFPM beat

Strong cost control and an energy-cost tailwind gave a 5% PFPM beat, while the uptick in vacancy rate and negative net letting (second consecutive quarter) were key negatives. We have cut our 2025–2026e EPS by 2–3%, mainly on market interest-rate changes. We reiterate our HOLD and have lowered our target price to SEK200 (220) on a tweaked valuation yield. Benefiting from a strong hedging portfolio in 2023 (FFOPS +16% YOY, among the best in the sector), we expect muted FFOPS growth in our forecas...

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...
