Urbanization And Digital Advances Will Drive Mixed-Use Demand

Key Takeaways

• Cost efficiencies from system integration, loyalty programs, and tenant engagement could drive sustained margin expansion and accelerated revenue growth beyond current analyst projections.
  
• Strong asset positioning, redevelopment potential, and tech-driven media business expansion enable robust occupancy, premium rental income, and diversified long-term profit opportunities.
  
• High borrowing costs, stagnant retail property demand, and concentration risks threaten Allos's revenue growth, profit margins, and long-term stability amidst shifting economic and market conditions.

Catalysts

Provides planning, development, administration, and sales services to third-party shopping centers in Brazil.

• While analyst consensus expects margin improvement from ERP and SAP integration, the actual benefits could be far greater, as Allos is already seeing cost growth well below inflation, ongoing SG&A efficiency gains, and seamless post-merger system rollout-suggesting sustained and compounding net margin expansion ahead.
  
• Analysts broadly agree on positive impact from the loyalty and benefits program rollout, but tenant engagement (already at 25%) and direct data integration with Allos's growing digital media business could create a flywheel, substantially accelerating revenue growth and driving higher tenant sales than currently reflected in projections.
  
• Allos's leadership in high-quality, centrally located assets within fast-growing urban regions-combined with an ongoing housing supply shortage and demographic trends favoring urban living-positions it for outperformance on occupancy rates and robust above-market rental income growth for years to come.
  
• The multiuse and redevelopment pipeline, supported by 6.8 million square meters of additional constructive potential and an active masterplan, is an underappreciated catalyst that can deliver multi-decade incremental revenue and earnings as Allos densifies existing assets and monetizes new verticals across its portfolio.
  
• Rapid expansion of the media/helloo business, now leveraging proprietary data and synergistic B2B2C relationships across malls, airports, and residential buildings, could unlock a high-margin, tech-driven media platform-contributing meaningfully to overall revenue and diversified high-growth profit streams.

Allos Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• This narrative explores a more optimistic perspective on Allos compared to the consensus, based on a Fair Value that aligns with the bullish cohort of analysts.
• The bullish analysts are assuming Allos's revenue will grow by 5.4% annually over the next 3 years.
• The bullish analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 30.5% today to 32.3% in 3 years time.
• The bullish analysts expect earnings to reach R$1.1 billion (and earnings per share of R$1.86) by about July 2028, up from R$862.1 million today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the more bullish analyst cohort, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 23.5x on those 2028 earnings, up from 12.3x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the BR Real Estate industry at 6.6x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 6.16% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 21.99%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Allos Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Persistently high interest rates in Brazil and globally are increasing borrowing costs, limiting the company's ability to expand or refinance on favorable terms and thus may place upward pressure on interest expenses, constraining net margins and future earnings.
  
• Secular migration to remote and hybrid work is dampening demand for retail and office space, particularly in shopping malls, which can create higher vacancy rates and lower rental income, thereby negatively affecting revenue growth.
  
• Heavy ownership concentration in Brazilian shopping malls exposes Allos to regional economic stagnation and demographic headwinds, such as slowing household formation, which could weaken long-term demand and make revenue and asset values more volatile.
  
• Allos's property portfolio, while showing resilience recently, faces the risk of underinvestment in modernization or failure to keep pace with fast-changing tenant and consumer preferences, which could lead to lower occupancy and suppressed rental yields, hurting both top-line revenue and profitability.
  
• The company's debt structure, with nearly all borrowings tied to the CDI and ongoing needs for rolling over debts or refinancing, increases vulnerability to interest rate spikes and shifts in investor appetite, threatening earnings and net margins if financial market conditions worsen.

Valuation

• The assumed bullish price target for Allos is R$33.5, which is the highest price target estimate amongst analysts. This valuation is based on what can be assumed as the expectations of Allos's future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors from analysts on the bullish end of the spectrum.
• However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of R$33.5, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just R$22.0.
• In order for you to agree with the bullish analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be R$3.3 billion, earnings will come to R$1.1 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 23.5x, assuming you use a discount rate of 22.0%.
• Given the current share price of R$21.26, the bullish analyst price target of R$33.5 is 36.5% higher.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
