Vonovia (XTRA:VNA) Cuts Back Plans As The Undervalued Case Holds

Vonovia (XTRA:VNA) just put fresh third quarter numbers on the table, combining stable rental income and a stronger value add business with sharply lower profit after last year’s extraordinary tax benefit dropped out.

Vonovia’s latest update landed against a tricky backdrop for the stock, with a 1 day share price return of 3.59% lifting the share price to €16.89, while the 90 day share price return has fallen 18.56% and the 1 year total shareholder return is down 29.22%. This points to fading momentum as investors weigh resilient rental cash flows against lower reported profits, higher financing costs and a more cautious investment plan.
