Most Popular Narrative: 18.6% Undervalued
Lumo Kodit Oyj’s most followed valuation story points to a fair value of €8.55 per share versus the latest close at €6.96, which puts the focus on whether the rental housing thesis and interest cost risks can bridge that gap over time at an 11.56% discount rate.
The persistent low level of new housing starts, currently less than 20,000 per year compared to estimated demand of 35,000, combined with sustained population growth in Finland's largest cities (driven by both domestic and immigration trends), is expected to keep rental supply tight relative to demand, which should enhance Kojamo's long-term pricing power and support revenue and earnings growth.
