Margins Set to Climb Even as Revenue Slips

• Analysts forecast profit margins will surge from 34.3% today to 89.1% over the next three years, even as revenue is expected to fall by 3.3% annually.
• Analysts' consensus view highlights how Cofinimmo’s focus on healthcare real estate, where 77% of its portfolio now sits, supports stable occupancy and resilient rent growth. These factors are expected to strengthen margins significantly.
  • Consensus narrative notes the company’s high 98.6% occupancy rate and long average lease terms (15 years in healthcare), reinforcing the projection for predictably higher margins.
  • However, a cautious investment approach and anticipated higher debt costs could offset the benefit, so the pace of margin expansion depends on these risks staying manageable.

Debt Costs Rising as Balance Sheet Gets Heavier

• Average debt costs are projected to climb to 2.2% by 2028, while Cofinimmo’s debt-to-asset ratio now exceeds 43%, increasing financial risk at a time of slowing portfolio growth.
• Analysts' consensus view calls out multiple risk factors such as the anticipated rise in interest expense and persistent market illiquidity. Heavier debt loads could pressure net margins and future profitability.
  • Consensus narrative flags that delays in property development, especially in Spain, may slow new revenue streams, complicating the ability to offset higher financing costs.
  • Meanwhile, regulatory changes like higher fees and stricter ESG requirements in France are raising costs and could further squeeze margins if rental growth stalls.

Trading Below DCF Fair Value, Yet Price Target Shows Little Upside

• With shares priced at €74.20, Cofinimmo trades well below its DCF fair value estimate of €106.83, but analysts’ consensus price target sits much lower at €80.92, only 7.5% above the current market price.
• Analysts' consensus view contends that while Cofinimmo appears undervalued using discounted cash flow, most analysts consider the stock fairly priced based on their assumptions of muted growth and rising risk.
  • The gap between DCF value and analyst targets spotlights real tension. Bulls see upside in a discounted asset, but most professionals point to revenue contraction and a conservative investment stance as limiting near-term gains.
  • Consensus narrative emphasizes that unless you believe in much stronger-than-forecast earnings, the broader investment community does not see significant re-rating potential from these levels.
