Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield reported 2019 earnings per security, or EPS, of EUR 12.92, a whisker above guidance. The negatives greatly outweighed the positives in the result and outlook. We’ve cut our rental growth outlook for all the retail assets and slightly raised rental outlook for the French office assets that are benefiting from low levels of vacancy. Given retail spending across Europe and the U.S. has been vastly buoyed by stimulatory interest rate settings, the eventual move up in inte...

The retail sales environment for narrow-moat Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield is deteriorating faster than prior forecasts, impacting the rate Unibail can raise rents going forward. We previously forecast a 10-year CAGR in retail rent of 3.3%, but weakening sales figures for the European assets that make up the bulk of the portfolio means the negotiating power is now swinging more in favour of the tenant. Sales across the discretional apparel category appear to have suffered the most with U.K.-based ma...

Unibail-Rodamco is one of the largest global REITs, with EUR 61 billion of commercial property, split 87% in shopping centres, 7% in offices, and 6% in convention centres. In a more technology-enabled world, the challenge is to grow sales when digital retail enjoys a material cost advantage in the traditional fashion categories. The bias towards luxury or aspirational brands has been profitable in recent years, but will be threatened if more of the high-margin sales occur online. The transition ...

(Correction applies to EPS and DPS calculations.) We initiate coverage of Australian Chess Depository Interests, or CDIs, of Unibail-Rodamco a France-based REIT that recently merged with Westfield Corporation. We ascribe Unibail's CDIs a narrow moat rating and expect no major changes in the company's competitive positioning. The moat source is efficient scale, which is where a market is effectively serviced by existing players and potential competitors are dissuaded from entering as doing so wou...
