Vonovia SE revised its outlook on October 28, 2026, citing higher financing costs, weaker transaction activity and slower investment growth. The company disclosed the changes in an EQS News release.

What changed in the outlook

Organic rent growth for 2026 is now expected at approximately 3.8%, compared with roughly 4% previously. Operating free cash flow before changes in net working capital is expected to be moderately below the 2025 level, while adjusted EBITDA Total is guided to the bottom half of the existing EUR 2.95 billion to EUR 3.05 billion range.

For 2027, Vonovia expects organic rent growth of approximately 4% and adjusted EBITDA slightly above the 2026 level. The 2028 rent-growth objective was reduced to approximately 4.5% from approximately 5%, and planned investment was lowered to approximately EUR 1.7 billion from approximately EUR 2.0 billion.

Operating performance remains mixed

Preliminary figures for the first nine months showed adjusted EBITDA Total of EUR 2.19 billion, compared with EUR 2.118 billion a year earlier. Adjusted EBT fell to EUR 1.41 billion from EUR 1.460 billion, while adjusted shareholder earnings declined to EUR 1.12 billion from EUR 1.201 billion. Vonovia said higher financing costs mainly offset the improvement in EBITDA.

The company described Rental and Value-add as resilient, while Development and Recurring Sales remain pressured by the higher cost of financing and a weaker transaction market. Vonovia plans a strategic review of its Development business, stricter return requirements and a pause in new Manage-to-Green investments.
