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...

Q4 NOI was broadly in line with our estimate, while one-offs resulted in an EBIT miss, but also lower financing costs. Reflecting its rebalanced swaps, the issue of new equity (NOK130m and 22.6m shares) and the updated guidance on the closure of the remaining BEWI asset transaction, we have cut our 2024–2025e EPS by an average of c11.7%. However, we reiterate our NOK7.5 target price, and our BUY given the potential upside.

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.

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...
