WOOD Flash – GTC: 1Q25 – some notes, post the results

Liquidity is paramount. The dividends should have been paused earlier, but better late than never. Management's clearly stated focus on prioritising the addressing of maturities is encouraging. All rides on a successful refinancing and or sizeable disposals, which could remove the immediate tail risk. That said, even then, the equity looks fully valued, unless the post-deal FFO proves to be markedly stronger than the current trajectory suggests.

We have downgraded Santander BP to HOLD (from Buy) and set our updated 12M price target (PT) at PLN 577.6/share. Our updated 12M PT includes an extra 10% discount on top of our base 12M PT, to reflect the share overhang (Banco Santander left with a 13% stake) and uncertainties over how smooth and fast the transition period might prove to be, at least from the current standpoint. In our view, the stock may trade at a discount until this is cleared up, which is unlikely to be announced until the n...
