The latest update is out from Catena Media ( (SE:CTM) ).

Catena plans a directed share issue of up to approximately 6 million new shares to Swedish and international institutional investors to help finance a contemplated SEK 9 billion acquisition of 20 logistics properties in Sweden, Finland and Denmark and to support its wider growth pipeline. The deal, backed pro rata by major shareholders Backahill and WDP, would mark Catena’s entry into the Finnish market and extend its weighted average lease term from 6.5 to more than 7 years, while the equity raise is intended to preserve balance sheet strength, lowering loan-to-value from 39.2% to about 32.8% and reducing net debt/EBITDA, and to leave headroom of SEK 2.5–3.0 billion for future investments; the board is opting for a swift, directed issue over a rights issue to capture time-sensitive opportunities and broaden its institutional shareholder base.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:CTM) stock is a Sell with a SEK1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Catena Media stock, see the SE:CTM Stock Forecast page.
