Vonovia SE adjusted its 2026 guidance and reduced its 2028 organic rent-growth objective on October 28, citing higher financing costs, weaker transaction activity and lower investment volumes. The EQS News release said organic rent growth for 2026 is now expected at approximately 3.8 percent, compared with about 4 percent previously.

Vonovia stock traded at 16.14 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:35 CET on Friday, October 30, 1.00 percent above the Xetra close of Thursday, October 29. The quote was 1.45 percent above the 15.91 euros recorded in the latest relevant own report on October 29 at 17:10 Berlin time.

Guidance shifts toward caution

Operating free cash flow before changes in net working capital is now expected to come in moderately below the 2025 level. Adjusted EBITDA Total is guided to the bottom half of the existing 2.95 billion euros to 3.05 billion euros range, while adjusted earnings before tax are expected near the low end.

For 2027, Vonovia expects organic rent growth of approximately 4 percent and adjusted EBITDA slightly above the 2026 level. The company reduced its 2028 organic rent-growth objective to approximately 4.5 percent from about 5 percent and lowered planned investment to approximately 1.7 billion euros from 2.0 billion euros.

Financing costs remain the pressure point

Preliminary nine-month adjusted EBITDA rose to 2.19 billion euros from 2.118 billion euros a year earlier. Adjusted earnings before tax declined to 1.41 billion euros from 1.460 billion euros, while adjusted shareholder earnings fell to 1.12 billion euros from 1.201 billion euros as higher financing costs offset the operating improvement.

Vonovia plans a strategic review of its Development business, stricter return requirements and a pause in new Manage-to-Green investments. The full interim statement for the first nine months is scheduled for November 4, 2026.
