Specialist Sales Sara Bellenda+44 20 7762 1867sara.bellenda@bernsteinsg.com FEEDBACK, PUSHBACK, TALKBACK Over the past few months, we have met with a broad range of investors across multiplejurisdictions.Retailremains the favourite sub-sector at the moment. The sub-sector hasoutperformed and continues to screen well, albeit investors are increasingly questioning if itis time to take profits. Consolidation and acquisitions remain the two main topics discussedwith investors. The disconnect between the solid operating trends and the macro headwindsinthe UKremains a key talking point in meetings too. Occupier trends acrossEuropeanindustrial/logisticshave been a hot topic, especially as the major developers in this spacenow offer good entry points following recent weakness. Finally, we provide feedback onColonial’s CMD, TAG’s recent re-IPOof its Polish housebuilding armROBYG,and ourMENA initiations. MARKET UNCERTAINTIES PERSIST - HOW TO NAVIGATE? Macro and political uncertainties continue to influence the performance of the real estatesector.

INVESTMENT IMPLICATIONS We think the European real estate sector represents good value. Our coverage offers a 31% discount to our FY26e EPRA NTA(27% on a last reported basis, wider compared to the long-term average discount of c.12%) and a 7.9% FY26e recurring EPSyield (c.150bp ahead of the long-term average), both on a weighted average basis (see Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2). Based on the forward earnings multiple of the STOXX600, the European real estate sector is currently valued at an 4% discountcompared to the wider market. The once significant premium has reversed and compares to the c.24% long-term averagepremium vs the wider market (see Exhibit 3). On dividend, the real estate sector currently offers a discount to the broader market,wider compared to its long-term average (see Exhibit 4). We have refreshed our financial forecasts in certain instances, reflecting recent company updates and mild changes to ourassumptions. This includes Shurgard where we shave down our earnings assumptions by c.3% (on an EPS basis) following a weakstart to the year, now the bottom end of the guidance range for 2026e. This is reflected in our revised price target of €28.5 (from€31.0, also including the adjustment for the company now trading ex-div). We have also adjusted our price targets for companieswhich are now trading ex-div since our last update (these include URW, Carmila, TAG Immobilien, CTP, Vonovia, Shurgard, LEG,Colonial, British Land and Landsec). Further details can be found later in this report on a company-by-company basis.Our ratingsremain unchanged across the board.
