Citycon (Hold, TP: EUR3.75) - Balance sheet needs strengthening
The Q3 results were broadly in line with our forecasts. Citycon narrowed its 2024 guidance, and we estimate EPS just below its 0.47-0.49 EUR per share outlook Despite maintaining its quarterly DPS, we still believe the balance sheet needs to improve. The strategy appears to be deleveraging with assets sales; we expect ‘crown jewels’ to be sold. However, we find this largely reflected in the current NAV discount, and have upgraded to HOLD (SELL) and maintained our target price of EUR3.75.

Two upgrades, an equity raise, and transactions
This week, we upgraded Balder to BUY and Sagax to HOLD following their Q3 results, Balder completed a SEK1.5bn equity raise and bought assets from a JV, while a >5% rent increase for 2025 provided a positive datapoint for rent-regulated apartments in Sweden.

This week, we shifted our coverage from KCM Properties to Logistea and reinstated a recommendation with a BUY and SEK20 target price. In other news, Entra reported soft Q3 results, while Atrium Ljungberg’s were more neutral, and we see a potential catalyst for the Swedish residential market at the start of November.

Keen eye on vacancy rates
Interest rates have seemingly peaked, and more cuts are expected. Given the level at which rates are set to stabilise, we still expect some upward pressure on book value yields. NAV-wise, this is likely to be offset by rental growth and retained earnings, but our base case is limited growth in 2024–2025e. Rental KPIs remain the key focus, as vacancy rates continue to rise, particularly for offices, but so far rental prices have held firm. We maintain our neutral sector stance, with Castellum and...

This week we upgraded Hufuvdstaden to HOLD following its Q2 results, JM is laying off 145 employees, and the Riksbank cut the policy rate by 25bp to 3.50%.

Citycon (Sell, TP: EUR3.75) - Decent Q2, but FFO risk remains
NOI and PFPM were broadly in line, but FFO was above our forecast on lower hybrids and payable tax costs. Citycon reported cEUR300m under properties held for sale, which we expect to be finalised in Q3. These divestments are likely to improve the LTV, but also weaken FFOps in 2025e onwards. We reiterate our SELL and EUR3.75 target price.

Strong divestment, flat Swedish policy rate and tenant bankruptcies
This week, the Swedish Riksbank kept the policy rate unchanged at 3.75%, but the market is factoring in an 85% likelihood of a cut in August. Stenhus Fastigheter has seen two key tenants apply for bankruptcy within a week, and Entra divested a hotel at a 28% premium to book value. Finally, we maintained a neutral view in our Nordic real estate sector update last week. The weighted-average implied EBITDA yields on the stocks we cover are 4.45% for 2024e and 4.86% for 2025e.

Improved sentiment, but unattractive sector valuation
On the positive side, sentiment has improved on peaked interest rates and tightening credit spreads. However, we consider the sector fully valued and maintain our neutral view, given our expectation of muted NAV/share and FFOps growth. Our key focus is on rising vacancy rates, particularly in the office segment. Our top sector picks are Wihlborgs, Catena and PPI.
