The latest announcement is out from Catella AB Class B ( ($SE:CAT.B) ).

Catella reported a stable but loss-making first quarter of 2026, with net sales of SEK 296 million and operating profit of SEK -45 million, while adjusted operating earnings improved by SEK 26 million year on year. Assets under management rose to SEK 160 billion, mainly due to a reporting change that now includes assets under development, even as underlying AUM fell SEK 3 billion from softer valuations and mandate terminations.

Management highlighted gradually improving European real estate conditions, with repricing largely complete and selective liquidity favoring high-quality, income-focused assets. The group implemented a new structure built around Investment Management and Corporate Finance, pursued capital-light co-investments such as a joint venture with Pictet in Greater Copenhagen, and moved to strengthen its balance sheet via bond buybacks and a planned share repurchase program, positioning for earnings growth as market fundamentals improve.
