After the company already concluded a repurchase program in Q4'23, the management of S IMMO announced yet another share buyback. Industry leading KPIs paired with an undemanding valuation should offer an attractive entry opportunity.
S IMMO produced another set of strong quarterly results following major acquisions in CEE last year and the continuous recovery of the hotel segment.
S IMMO looks set to publish a sound set of Q3 results driven by last years acquistions and a full recovery of the hotel segment. Besides that, the company announced a share buyback as well as further significant acquisitions.
S Immo’s FY21 results saw a gross profit recovery very close to 2019 and EPS setting an all-time record of €3.24 per share. This was accompanied by a positive outlook statement. The shares closed at €22.75 on 29 April, representing a c 22% discount to its FY21 EPRA NAV of €29.29. On 2 May, it was announced that CPI had raised its bid for S Immo to €23.50 (cum dividend), which the management board has accepted.

So far, S Immo has weathered the COVID-19 crisis relatively well, with its EPRA net tangible assets (NTA) per share down by only c 6% between end-2019 and end-March 2021, mostly due to the impact on its hotels (c 9% of its property portfolio at present). Its future investments agenda depends on the outcome of the IMMOFINANZ takeover bid. Success would trigger a review of its hotel and residential strategy, whereas a failure would likely result in the sale of its minority stakes in both listed pe

Henderson Far East Income (HFEL) has consistently delivered on its objective to provide a rising dividend. However, like many investors, HFEL’s managers overestimated the potential for a post-pandemic rebound in China. The trust’s resultant overweight to Chinese consumer and other cyclicals led to a fall in portfolio revenues and underperformance in the financial year ended 31 August 2023 (FY23). With a view to improving future returns, HFEL’s board has since indicated an increased willingness t
