0913 GMT - Vonovia's deleveraging plan is ambitious, ING analysts Francesca Ferragina and Michiel Vereycken say in a research note. The German real-estate company is targeting to lower its loan-to-value ratio to around 40% by 2028 and its net debt/Ebitda multiple to below 12. For 2025, Vonovia posted a loan-to-value ratio of 45.4% and has a current multiple of 13.8. "We estimate that to pursue such a deleveraging around 8 billion euros in disposals would be needed," the analysts say. While this looks like a sizeable amount, Vonovia was able to sell around 7.9 billion euros of assets during the difficult years of 2023 and 2024, the analysts say. This is a good track record, they add. Shares trade 10.3% lower at 22.06 euros. (nina.kienle@wsj.com)
