2026 guidance and assumptions
The company issued an EPRA earnings per share target of €6.35 for 2026, a 1.6% reduction from the 2025 result. That target is consistent with analyst estimates of €6.38 and consensus forecasts of €6.36 and is predicated on assumptions of €200 million in net investments and €351 million in net rental income for the year.
Full-year financials and rental income
Full year 2025 EPRA earnings totaled €245.6 million, a 0.7% increase from the prior year. On a per-share basis, EPRA earnings of €6.45 represented a 0.7% decline relative to 2024.
Net rental income for 2025 was effectively stable at €348.2 million, down 0.9% compared with the previous year and falling 1% short of analyst estimates. The company attributed the reduction primarily to asset disposals during the year.
