First Berlin Equity Research has published a research update on Aroundtown SA (ISIN: LU1673108939). Analyst Ellis Acklin reiterated his BUY rating and increased the price target from EUR 3.60 to EUR 4.00.

Abstract
We attended the EPRA 2024 Conference in Berlin to take the pulse of the property sector, get a first-hand look at some of Aroundtown’s local assets, and meet with company brass. Attendance was good, and the general mood was optimistic that the worst of the downcycle is over. A tour bus full of various real estate stakeholders had a chance to see a mixed sample of Aroundtown’s commercial properties, showcasing their quality and locations, as well as the landlord’s strategy for repositioning underperforming assets to harness embedded upside. The tour left a good impression and reinforced our view that AT will emerge a long-term winner as we progress through the cycle. We remain Buy-rated on AT with a €4.0 TP (old: €3.6) after factoring lower Bund yields into our model.
