Net margin at 62.9% is flattered by SEK 671m one off

• Trailing net income of SEK 1.49b on SEK 2.36b of revenue translates into a 62.9% net margin for NP3 Fastigheter, compared with 39.7% a year earlier, helped by a SEK 671m non recurring gain included in the last 12 months.
• What stands out for a bearish narrative is how heavily that SEK 671m item influences the 74% year over year earnings rise. Without it, the trailing SEK 24.13 EPS and 62.9% margin would sit much closer to the prior year figures and give less support to arguments that profitability power has stepped up structurally.
  • Quarterly net income excluding extra items over the last six reported quarters sits between SEK 166m and SEK 450m, which is far smaller than the SEK 671m one off on its own.
  • This concentration of profit in a single gain challenges any bearish claim that recent margin strength purely reflects ongoing rent or cost trends rather than accounting effects.

For readers who want a deeper breakdown of how one off items and recurring earnings shape the risk case, skeptics often point to detailed narrative work that goes line by line through these adjustments 🐻 NP3 Fastigheter Bear Case.

Revenue trend steady while EPS moves around

• Quarterly revenue for NP3 Fastigheter has stayed within a relatively tight range from SEK 550m to SEK 621m over the past six quarters, while basic EPS over the same period has swung between SEK 2.70 and SEK 7.31, showing that profit per share is much more volatile than the top line.
• Supporters with a bullish tilt often focus on the trailing SEK 24.13 EPS. Yet this wide EPS range against fairly stable revenue means the bullish case that earnings are on a smooth upward path is only partly backed by the data, since
  • EPS jumped from SEK 2.70 in Q2 2025 to SEK 5.75 in Q2 2026 even though revenue moved from SEK 587m to SEK 621m, a change that does not fully explain the EPS swing on its own.
  • Across the last six quarters, net income excluding extra items moves between SEK 166m and SEK 450m, reinforcing that quarter to quarter profit is sensitive to items beyond simple revenue growth.

Valuation signals split between P/E and DCF fair value

• At a share price of SEK 271 and trailing EPS of SEK 24.13, NP3 Fastigheter trades on a P/E of about 11.2x, which sits below the Swedish real estate industry average of 11.4x and below both a peer average of 18.1x and a broader Swedish market multiple of 20.2x. A DCF fair value of SEK 198.11 points to a lower value than the current price.
• Critics highlight this gap between a supportive relative P/E and the lower DCF fair value, arguing that the stock’s apparent cheapness on earnings multiples is less convincing once the SEK 671m one off and forecasts for an average 9.4% annual earnings decline over the next three years are taken into account, because
  • The trailing P/E of 11.2x is calculated on earnings that include the non recurring gain, so if earnings fall as expected the multiple on future EPS would likely be higher than it appears today.
  • Debt is flagged as not well covered by operating cash flow, which aligns more closely with the cautious picture suggested by the DCF fair value of SEK 198.11 than with the seemingly low P/E at SEK 271.
