Castellum AB ( (SE:CAST) ) just unveiled an update.

Castellum reported weaker full-year 2025 results, as income from property management fell and net profit dropped to SEK 938 million, driven by negative property value changes and slightly softer like-for-like net operating income. Despite signing more new leases by area, net leasing for the year was negative and the loan-to-value ratio edged up, while the company continued substantial net investments and improved energy performance across its portfolio.

In the fourth quarter, Castellum posted a small loss after tax as property values were written down, even though income from property management grew and interest coverage improved to 3.2 times. Management sharpened its focus on profitability and capital allocation through a head-office reorganisation and the sale of co-working unit United Spaces, and the board now plans share buybacks equal to a quarter of 2025 property management income instead of paying a cash dividend, signalling a shift toward capital returns and balance-sheet discipline.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:CAST) stock is a Buy with a SEK135.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Castellum AB stock, see the SE:CAST Stock Forecast page.
