Industrial Real Estate outlook
Real Estate
Kolytics' report analyses European and US industrial real estate, examining demand drivers, supply imbalances, valuations and company-specific comparisons. They highlight the structural demand drivers supporting the long-term outlook for industrial real estate, with the Covid-era supply surge now behind us. However, they caution that macro and geopolitical uncertainty could weigh on near-term performance. Following the post-Covid e-commerce and trade boom, valuations have corrected - more sharply in public markets, particularly Europe - creating selective opportunities in the REIT space. Companies covered include Catena, First Industrial, Prologis, Rexford Industrial, Sagax, Segro, Tritax Big Box and Warehouses De Pauw.

Key recommendation changes include upgrading Segro to Buy.
