Losses widen on €20.1 million Q2 net loss

• NSI reported a Q2 2026 net loss of €20.1 million, compared with a profit of €6.8 million in Q1 2026. On a trailing 12 month view, the company recorded a total net loss of €15.9 million against €84.5 million of revenue.
• Consensus narrative highlights that NSI is focused on prime Dutch office hubs and energy efficient buildings. These Q2 figures sit against that backdrop by showing:
  • Recent redevelopment and refurbishment projects are being pursued while the business is still loss making over the last year. This means any uplift in rent and occupancy will need to offset current earnings pressure.
  • Analysts expect profit margins to rise from 2.4% today to very high levels in three years. The current loss of €15.9 million over the past 12 months tests how quickly that consensus view can play out.

Trailing losses vs bullish profitability forecasts for NSI

• On a trailing 12 month basis, NSI’s earnings per share sit at a loss of €0.82. Analysts are forecasting earnings of €69.6 million and EPS of €2.54 by around 2028, alongside an expected annual earnings growth rate of 60.2%.
• Supporters of the bullish view point to the redevelopment pipeline and focus on Amsterdam and Utrecht. The current numbers provide a clear test of that optimism because:
  • Revenue on a trailing 12 month basis is €84.5 million and is expected to decline about 3.8% per year over the next three years. Any future earnings improvement would therefore need to come from higher margins rather than revenue growth.
  • Analysts have used these assumptions to arrive at a DCF fair value of €51.46, which is well above the current €17.24 share price. Investors who agree with the bullish case are effectively relying on that margin and earnings shift to close this gap.

Bulls argue the current loss making profile could be a temporary phase before the redevelopment projects and margin improvements filter through to earnings, and you can see how that storyline is laid out in detail in the 🐂 NSI Bull Case.

Debt coverage concerns weigh on bearish narrative

• Risk analysis flags that NSI’s debt is not well covered by operating cash flow and that losses have grown at about 29.4% per year over the past five years. The stock trades at a P/S of 4x compared with 5x for peers and 5.6x for the wider European Office REITs group.
• Critics focusing on the bearish side argue that sector concentration and higher finance costs could pressure NSI further. The current figures intersect with those concerns in several ways:
  • Planned capital expenditure on projects like the Vitrum redevelopment and HNK Rotterdam Alexander refurbishment comes on top of trailing 12 month losses of €15.9 million, which may limit flexibility while key assets are being repositioned.
  • At the same time, the P/S discount to peers means the market is already pricing in some of this risk. Investors weighing the bearish narrative need to decide whether weak debt coverage and an unstable dividend record justify this lower multiple.

Skeptical investors argue that weak cash coverage of debt and an unstable dividend record could keep pressure on NSI’s share price, and the full bearish storyline sets out that case in 🐻 NSI Bear Case.
