I have been intensively involved in the real estate sector and have discovered some supposedly exciting companies such as

$SPG (+1.7%)
$GLPI (-0.79%)
$CUBE (+1.13%) and $BRX (-0.44%) discovered.

But there are special features to the valuation of REITs. 🧐

Traditional key figures such as high returns on capital or margins are often misleading, as REITs are legally obliged to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income 🤑 and are also highly leveraged.

In order to better assess REITs, I have read up on the subject and adjusted my valuation standards. Instead of adjusted earnings, I now focus more on funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which more realistically reflect operating profitability.

Here are some of the companies that I find particularly interesting:

• Public Storage $PSA (-0.34%) Leading provider in the self storage segment with an FFO yield of approx. 5.9%

• Prologis $PLD (+1.38%) Global leader in logistics real estate with strong growth

• Equinix $EQIX (+0.81%) Data center operator with a scalable business model

• Agree Realty $ADC (-0.67%) Focus on retail properties with long-term rental agreements and an FFO yield of approx. 5.7 %.

I also see Energiekontor $EKT (-3.23%) as an alternative real estate investment 🤓. Energiekontor currently operates 39 of its own wind and solar parks, which generate electricity revenues instead of rental income.

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

The search for quality stocks in the energy sector is more challenging than in many other sectors. The high cyclicality, strong dependence on commodity prices and capital cost-intensive business models often lead to fluctuating margins, low returns on capital and balance sheet weaknesses.

Despite these challenges, there are companies that stand out positively thanks to their solid financial position, strategic focus or innovative business model. Here I present a selection that I find interesting despite certain compromises:

Energiekontor $EKT (-3.23%) (growth value, cash flow oriented)

Texas Pacific Land $TPL (+0.64%) (extremely profitable)

Hess $HES (+1.69%)(cooperates with $XOM) (+0.89%)

EOG Resources $EOG (+1.12%) (high ROIC)

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

Position increased after I placed a first tranche last week. Depending on the market trend, I will continue to add to the position piece by piece.

We have taken advantage of the current weak market phase and further reduced our cash holdings.

After holding only one share in Energiekontor as a souvenir, we have now bought more. We were already invested here, but realized price gains at some point.

The company is a leader in the project development of wind farms in Germany. It is in a sector with an absolute future. The demand for electricity is increasing, but so is the need for decarbonization.

The 2024 figures were not good, but Energiekontor expects higher profits and sales again.

What do you think of the company?

$EKT (-3.23%)

Energiekontor AG is one of the leading companies in the field of renewable energies and specializes in the development, construction and operation of wind and solar parks. Despite a temporary adjustment of the profit forecast in 2024, the company was recently able to surprise positively and significantly raise its EBT forecast. With an ambitious growth strategy and a planned tripling of earnings by 2028, Energiekontor is positioning itself as an attractive stock in the renewable energy sector.

Energiekontor benefits from hopes for financial package

FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - The prospect of billions of euros of investment in climate protection in Germany gave a strong boost to the shares of project developer Energiekontor on Monday. As one of the strongest stocks in the small cap index SDax, the shares ended trading 13.2 percent higher at 55.50 euros. They thus managed to break through the resistance level of around 52 euros, at which they had failed several times last week. The shares also rose above the 200-day line, a technical chart indicator for the long-term trend.
