BASE RATE CUTS NOT A CURE FOR REAL ESTATE FIRMS
As expected, Sweden's central bank made its first rate cut since 2016 on Wednesday but Barclays says that cuts alone are not the panacea for the struggling real estate firms, and encourages focus on fundamentals instead.
"The day after base rate cuts ... focus on fundamentals," the British bank says in a note, as real estate stocks are down and swap rates moved higher.
Castellum CAST.ST, seen as a rate hedge, closed 0.11% down on Wednesday and is 1.3% lower by 0832 GMT.
"Our long-held view that base rate cuts don't matter due to the inverted rate curve appears to be vindicated," Barclays adds.
The analysts, who stick to their "neutral" view on European real estate, say that the steepening of the rate curve that they anticipated has started, and expect this to continue.
"We believe the market can and will now focus increasingly on property and company fundamentals, rather than be beholden to the gyrations in the rates market," they say.
Still, it sees the fundamentals as deteriorating for office-exposed landlords, and as inflation is easing, says it believes the inflation-linked revenue growth will not offset higher finance costs.
It cuts Castellum to "underweight" from "overweight" to reflect the weakening operational performance and declining earnings.
