Instone Real Estate Lowers 2026 Forecast Amid Market Uncertainty

Instone Real Estate Group SE has revised its 2026 financial forecast downward due to worsening transaction conditions. The company cites high macroeconomic and political uncertainty, including rising interest rates, as key factors impacting investor willingness. Originally, Instone expected geopolitical issues, such as Middle East conflicts, to be temporary. However, the ongoing challenges have delayed transactions.

The updated forecast projects 2026 sales between EUR 500 million and EUR 600 million, with an adjusted revenue of approximately EUR 450 million. The adjusted gross margin is anticipated to improve to over 28%, while earnings after tax are expected to reach EUR 25-30 million. Previously, the company predicted reaching the lower end of higher ranges.

The Management Board plans to secure institutional transaction agreements for early 2027, which were initially scheduled for 2026. Despite the forecast changes, a dividend of EUR 0.43 per share is planned.
