PT adjustment after issuance of bonus shares; chg.
CR Energy recently announced the inclusion of the bonus shares in the Open
Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as part of the successfully completed
capital increase. As the bonus shares were issued at a ratio of 1:3, the
company's share capital increased by EUR 17.6m to EUR 23.5m. For shareholders,
the issuance of bonus shares is equal to a stock split, i.e. it is
value-neutral and will cause no dilution of shareholdings.
Management opted for the bonus shares instead of paying out dividends this
year with the aim to increase visibility and liquidity of the stock and thus
the attractiveness of the share. Yet, we expect the company to start paying
dividends again starting next year (eNuW: EUR 0.65ps). Like in previous years,
shareholders will then most likely have the choice between a cash and a
stock dividend.
Aside from this, the company looks set to continuously boast a strong
operating performance, which should become visible with the release of the
H1 report in September. In fact, with its three key holdings CR Energy is in
an excellent position to benefit from the surging demand for affordable as
well as sustainable housing. Mind you, CR's subsidiary Terrabau is among the
pioneers of affordable housing solutions with a focus on East Germany's
metropoles Leipzig and Berlin. Especially in Berlin, the company aims to
focus on social housing going forward, which gets subsidized by the IBB
(Berlin's development bank) with an interest-free building loan (30y) of up
to EUR 2,000 per sqm as well as a cost subsidy of up to EUR 1,800 per sqm. Given
Terrabau's cost-efficient construction method (i.e. serial construction),
this should allow for significant margin upside going forward.
Furthermore, we expect subsidiary CR Opportunities to launch its first
European Long Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) in H2. The fund shall be
populated with properties from Terrabau's development projects. ELTIF's are
closed-end funds, which are specifically designed for infrastructure
investments. CR management intends to increase AuM by EUR 100m annually until
2027.
The stock remains a BUY with a new PT of EUR 12.00 (old: EUR 48.00) based on
DDM. The lower PT is solely due to the higher share count following the
issuance of the bonus shares.
