Ana Escalante has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors influencing Unite Group plc’s positive outlook. The company has demonstrated strong performance in its recent trading update, with a significant portion of its beds already sold for the upcoming academic year. This is complemented by stable yields and an increase in portfolio valuations, indicating robust rental growth.
Furthermore, the UK is becoming a more appealing destination for international students due to more restrictive policies in competing countries, which is expected to drive demand and support rental growth. Unite Group’s guidance for rental growth and occupancy rates remains strong, and the anticipated increase in student numbers further bolsters the company’s prospects. These factors collectively suggest a promising return on equity, justifying the Buy rating.
