Ovaro Kiinteistösijoitus focuses on real estate investments and in particular real estate development, primarily buying, developing and selling offices and land. Ovaro also owns and rents offices and apartments. The company operates in various parts of Finland, but focuses its operations on Finland's growth centers, i.e. university cities and the capital region.

The distribution of dividends would somewhat indicate that the company has a good outlook on its financial situation. Discussions have certainly taken place with financiers, and one would assume that new financings include some form of covenants based on solvency. I would assume that sales negotiations for current properties might be underway. If the company has an outlook that after events in the near future, it will have excess capital and no major new investment opportunities are in sight, then it is somewhat logical to distribute it to owners. This would allow the company to achieve a more targeted balance sheet position, enabling higher returns on equity. The company has commented that the buy-develop-sell model is intended to be operated in a capital-efficient manner and to rotate the balance sheet. If successful, there are opportunities to achieve good returns on equity, in which case P/B ratios should also rise, provided evidence of this begins to emerge. A share buyback would have been a good alternative, but it is quite slow.

I estimate the same. I would have preferred share buybacks. I assessed point b) the same way, so I reduced a reasonable portion from my modest position, even though I still consider Ovaro reasonably affordable. Let’s see if I can get the shares back cheaper.

The market clearly thought it was good news when the stock, which had been languishing for a long time, rose almost 7.5%, but… When the P/B ratio is as low as it is, buying back shares would have seemed to me a smarter way to distribute funds, if it was even necessary to distribute them at this stage instead of using them to pay down debt or keeping them as a reserve for new projects. This mainly reminds me of Investor House’s absurd stock surge based on dividend news in late summer, albeit on a smaller scale. Even though the stock I own to a moderate extent did rise now, I can’t really be happy when a) the company’s board made what I consider a foolish proposal and when b) the market reacted to it foolishly, in my opinion. Well, one could always lighten the ownership and buy, for example, Asuntosalkku or Kojamo instead… But perhaps I’ll still monitor the situation, as Ovaro isn’t expensive yet.

This is indeed very surprising. Ovaro just raised additional debt and is now distributing large extraordinary dividends. Why weren’t share buybacks continued? Perhaps this is then a sensible way for owners to return/release capital?

Here are Frans’s comments on how Ovaro is proposing quite a significant additional dividend.                    Inderes              Ovaron hallitus ehdottaa 0,36 euron lisäosinkoa (11 % osinkotuotto) - Inderes    Ovaro arvostetaan pörssissä 44 %:n alennuksella suhteessa sen nettovarallisuuteen, ja osingonjako onkin hyvä tapa vapauttaa piiloarvoa taseesta, kunhan yhtiön rahoitusasema sen kestää.

Hardworking night owl Frans has completed the company report on Ovaro after the Q3 releases.  Real estate development company Ovaro’s Q3 was slightly better than expected due to the positive development of net revenues and cost structure, even though development projects had not yet materialized as we anticipated. The market situation remains difficult, but development projects are progressing largely according to plan. The launch of the Kerava owner-occupied housing project next year appears increasingly likely, while the 17 MEUR student housing project agreed upon in Jyväskylä’s Kukkula project strengthens the overall picture of Kukkula. Updates we made to the timing of the project pipeline partly shift revenues to 2027, but our NAV estimate remained practically stable. With a low valuation (P/B 0.56x), strengthened financial position, and the potential of the project pipeline, we still see the risk/reward ratio as positive. We reiterate our target price of 3.70 euros and our Add recommendation.                   Inderes              Ovaro Q3'25: Asteittain eteenpäin - Inderes    Kiinteistökehitysyhtiö Ovaron Q3 oli nettotuottojen ja kulurakenteen myönteisen kehityksen ansiosta hieman odotuksia parempi, vaikka kehityshankkeita ei vielä realisoitunut odotustemme mukaisesti.

Frans interviewed Ovaro’s CEO Marko Huttunen regarding Q3.                    Inderes              Ovaro Q3'25: ”Kulut pidetty kurissa” - Inderes    Aika: 20.11.2025 klo 14.30 Ovaron Q3-tulos oli hieman ennakko-odotuksia parempi, johtuen odotuksia paremmasta nettovuokratuottotasosta.
