Analyst Adjustments and Valuation Concerns
SB1 Markets has revised its outlook on Wallenstam, maintaining a neutral stance but trimming its target price from SEK 41.00 to SEK 40.00 per share. The downgrade reflects a reassessment of growth drivers following the latest quarterly report. SB1 highlights the company’s historically strong residential portfolio, which yielded an average cash‑flow growth of 15 % per year between 2011 and 2021. However, recent data reveal a marked slowdown in new‑construction output, falling to roughly 1,100 units from a peak of 3,000 units in 2021. Consequently, SB1 projects a modest decline in cash flow per share over the next few years. Given the current valuation—approximately 18 times cash flow per share for 2027—SB1 finds the premium increasingly hard to justify.
The firm suggests that a rebound in new‑production activity or targeted share repurchases financed through property sales could restore investor confidence and support the share price.
