Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks
Colonial SFL (Neutral; Price Target: €6.40)
Investment Thesis
Colonial is a unique play on European office markets with a focus on Paris, Madrid and
Barcelona. We rate Colonial’s portfolio very highly, as it is located in prime locations with
strong management. We also see a strong development pipeline, adding modern and
efficient space in core locations. Our reservation for now, despite the more stable yields, is
the LTV, which continues to screen high.
Valuation
Our Dec-27 target price for Colonial is based on our total returns-based European Valuation
Model, which takes into account whether a company creates or destroys value. We argue that
companies that have a positive spread between returns and their weighted average cost of
capital (WACC) should trade at a premium to NNAV, whereas those with a negative spread
should be priced below NNAV. We apply this spread to the invested capital, discount back,
and add/subtract to our NNAV forecast to derive our price target.
Risks to Rating and Price Target
• Colonial is heavily concentrated in the office sector and hence any change in demand
for space (impacted by economic growth) is likely to affect occupancy, rents and income
potential.
• There is also risk from debt financing, given the capital-intensive nature of real estate,
the requirement to finance the company is affected by the appetite of lenders to lend.
Colonial has limited near-term need for additional debt, although this remains a longer-
term risk.
