Platzer Fastigheter Holding AB (publ) (PLAZ-B.ST) fair value

ACCE thesis

Platzer Fastigheter is a Swedish property owner and manager, with a rental portfolio concentrated in Stockholm and the surrounding region that it develops, manages and sells. Its moat is the scale and density of its holdings in a supply-constrained metro, which gives it pricing power on rents and a cost base that improves as it fills its own buildings. Growth has been modest, with revenue up 3.9%, so the case rests more on the earnings stream and balance sheet than on expansion. At a trailing P/E of 9.1 and a forward P/E of 10.0, the market is pricing little growth, and the 76.0% operating margin is high enough that a stable rent roll converts into cash efficiently. The ROE of 6.2% is low, which reflects a heavy equity base and the leverage typical of the sector, so the question for a deeper look is whether the discount to asset value is justified by refinancing costs and Swedish rate sensitivity.
