BUZZ-Handelsbanken sees upside from Swedish real estate shares underperformance

** Handelsbanken upgrades six Swedish real estate companies to "buy" from "hold" as it sees "plenty" of upside from the sector's share price underperformance

** It says the sector decline of 16% since October 2024 has been unwarranted and mostly affected by volatile US-rates

** "Lower rates [in Sweden], an improving macro economy and more jobs all fit late-cyclical real estate", it says

** It adds that residential property companies should offer an improved risk/reward ratio due to expected rent indexation in 2025 and 2026

** It lists Dios Catena Hufvudstaden, Platzer Atrium Ljungberg and Stendorren STEFb.ST as its preferred stocks

** High office vacancies in Stockholm bring uncertainty to Fabege Castellum Atrium Ljungberg ATRLJb.ST and Hufvudstaden HUFVa.ST

** It flags however that Hufvudstaden has shown relative operational strength
