Profit Margins Reach 12.1% Amid One-Off Boost

• Net profit margins reached 12.1% for the trailing twelve months, up from the previous year's 10.6%, and benefited from a €34.6 million one-off gain.
• Consensus narrative highlights margin improvement but notes the gain is not expected to recur. Upcoming years are forecast to see declining profits:
  • Margins strengthened in part due to exceptional items. Analysts project a 6.3% annual decline in profits over the next three years.
  • Long-term historical earnings growth averaged 18.8% per year over five years. The most recent year's growth rate of 11.9% is below this trend as one-off gains diminish.

What is fueling or challenging this momentum? Analysts view the margin bump as temporary, with headwinds ahead. Read the full take in the consensus narrative. 📊 Read the full Aedas Homes Consensus Narrative.

Trading at 7x P/E, Significant Discount to Peers

• Aedas Homes is valued at a price-to-earnings ratio of 7, well below the peer average of 15.9 and the European Real Estate industry’s 14.5.
• The consensus narrative considers how this steep discount compares to risks:
  • The share price of €23.65 is 57.7% below the DCF fair value estimate of €55.86, suggesting a valuation disconnect. This may present an opportunity or reflect anticipated profit declines.
  • Despite the discount, analysts caution that the low valuation comes as both earnings and revenue are expected to contract, with sales projected to decline by 2% per year and profits by 6.3% per year. This implies caution is warranted.

Analysts Forecast €1.1 Billion Revenue by 2028

• Projections indicate that annual revenue will fall to €1.1 billion and earnings to €115.8 million by September 2028, with the number of shares outstanding expected to remain stable.
• The consensus narrative notes that reaching the €25.38 analyst target price depends on a higher valuation multiple:
  • To achieve this, the company’s P/E would need to rise to 13.2x from its current 6.1x. Analysts consider this possible if profitability stabilizes, but it is uncertain given guidance for shrinking margins, from 12.9% today to 10.1% in three years.
  • Material risks include Aedas’s concentration in a few Spanish regions and its high debt load, both identified as challenges to long-term growth and valuation recovery.
