Peach Property completes balance sheet overhaul as German rental portfolio gains strength

The latest update is out from Peach Property Group AG ( (CH:PEAN) ).

Peach Property Group AG, a Swiss-listed residential real estate investor focused on German Tier II cities, reported audited 2025 results that highlight a completed balance sheet transformation and a stronger core portfolio. The group’s strategy centers on its scalable Strategic Portfolio in North Rhine-Westphalia, while gradually disposing Non-Strategic assets to fund capex, bolster liquidity and reduce leverage.

In 2025, net rental income in the Strategic Portfolio rose about 4.5% like-for-like to EUR 82.8 million and residential vacancy fell to 3.8%, underscoring improving letting performance despite asset sales. Funds from operations reached EUR 17.7 million, near last year’s level and at the upper end of guidance, as the real estate portfolio’s market value edged up to EUR 1.93 billion and the loan-to-value ratio improved to 49.2%.

Peach Property repaid a Eurobond and promissory notes ahead of maturity, executed a roughly EUR 52 million capital increase, and secured long-term financing at a 3.9% interest rate, materially strengthening its balance sheet. While these measures caused some dilution to EPRA net asset metrics, the company significantly reduced its pre-tax loss compared with 2024, reflecting a more resilient financial position.

The group is intensifying its focus on its German Strategic Portfolio, where in-place rents still sit about 12% below market levels, offering scope for gradual rent increases over the medium term. Non-Strategic assets are being sold in stages, including agreements to sell about 1,800 units that are expected to generate more than EUR 40 million in net cash and reduce the Non-Strategic portfolio to roughly 3,700 units.

For 2026, Peach Property targets like-for-like net rental income growth of about 6% in the Strategic Portfolio, driven by lower vacancy and rent growth, and expects funds from operations of EUR 17–19 million. Management plans to cut Strategic Portfolio vacancy to below 3%, continue capex to upgrade assets and maintain competitive rents, and use disposal proceeds to further strengthen the balance sheet, aiming to bring the loan-to-value ratio below 45% in the medium term.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:PEAN) stock is a Buy with a CHF8.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Peach Property Group AG stock, see the CH:PEAN Stock Forecast page.
