Atrium Ljungberg (OM:ATRLJ B) Stock Price Trails Rental Growth As Funding Costs Rise

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Atrium Ljungberg’s share price has been sliding for weeks, down about 22% over three months, yet Q3 landed with a cleaner story than that chart suggests. Income from property management came in at SEK 328m and rental income reached SEK 761m, showing that the rental engine is still working even as financing gets tougher. The real headline is not the quarter’s earnings per share. Instead, it is a business juggling higher funding costs and a heavy project pipeline while carrying a P/E that already prices in a lot of future progress.

Do you like the stability in Atrium Ljungberg’s rental income but feel uneasy about higher funding costs and a stretched project pipeline at a full-looking P/E multiple? Consider exploring the list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals stocks (204 results).

Atrium Ljungberg’s growth story on trial

Optimists argue Atrium Ljungberg can grow rental cash flow through metro linked projects and diversified tenants while keeping financing comfortable. The quarter partially backs that up. Rental income increased 3.4% to SEK 761m, helped by six recently completed commercial projects and the A house acquisition, which shows the development pipeline is feeding into the income line. Net letting was SEK 2m in Q3 and SEK 9m year to date, so leasing is moving forward rather than shrinking. Portfolio value of about SEK 62.5b with a small positive unrealized uplift and some yield tightening in prime Stockholm areas suggests quality assets are holding up. Access to funding looks intact after a SEK 1.7b bond issue on what management calls historically attractive spreads and an average interest rate still around 3.1%. This supports the argument that ongoing projects can be financed without obvious strain.

Bear thesis on vacancies, costs and leverage

Skeptics focus on rising vacancies, weaker office demand, cost pressure and higher interest expenses chipping away at Atrium Ljungberg’s profitability. Recent numbers give that view real backing. The economic letting rate slipped to 85.7% from 86.5% after H&M vacated about 5,100 sqm, and management already flags more move outs than move ins for Q4. Net operating income fell 2.3% to SEK 538m and income from property management declined 6.8% to SEK 328m, hurt by establishment losses at A house of roughly SEK 7m and higher credit losses of SEK 5m. Operating surplus margin on a rolling basis is about 71% and drifting lower. Leverage is edging up, with interest bearing debt at SEK 27.8b, loan to value at 44.5% and net debt to EBITDA at 13.9x. Interest coverage softened to 2.9x as long term market rates climbed.

Compare Atrium Ljungberg’s steady rental engine and funded project pipeline with the pressure from higher vacancies, thinner margins and softer interest cover.
