YIT as an investment

YIT is building a new building for the Kamppi Health and Wellbeing Centre for the City of Helsinki, and its construction work will be completed more than a year ahead of schedule. The building can be handed over to the City of Helsinki already at the end of September 2026, meaning the city will get access to the new premises potentially more than 400 days earlier than planned. A renovated access route to the metro station and Kamppi shopping centre will be opened through the new building.
The Health and Wellbeing Centre will open in spring 2027, once the city has prepared the premises to receive staff and customers.

Here are Atte’s preview comments, as YIT publishes its Q4 report on Friday :slight_smile:

In our forecasts, the company’s result for the 2025 financial year is heavily weighted toward the fourth quarter due to housing completions. As a result, we expect revenue for the quarter to have returned to growth year-on-year for the first time since 2023. YIT has guided for an adjusted operating profit from continuing operations of EUR 40–60 million for the 2025 financial year. Our full-year forecast is near the upper end of the guidance range (EUR 57 million). Naturally, our interest in the report is focused on the guidance for the current year, for which we expect strong earnings growth from the company.

Atte’s comments on YIT’s Q4 results. :slight_smile:

YIT announced an expectedly strong Q4 result on Friday, driven especially by the positive momentum in the Housing CEE segment. The company’s net debt decreased significantly, and the guidance provided for 2026 was in line with our forecasts. Overall, the report reinforced the view that the company’s earnings turnaround is progressing as planned, driven by Central Eastern Europe, even though the Finnish housing market remains challenging.

Here is Atte’s company report on YIT after Q4. :slight_smile:

YIT’s Q4 result was roughly in line with our expectations, and the guidance for the current year offered no surprises. Our forecasts have therefore remained largely unchanged, and the Housing CEE segment continues to be the driver of the company’s earnings growth in our forecasts for the current year. YIT is initiating change negotiations in Finland, through which it aims for cost savings of 15 MEUR by the end of 2027. Despite the efficiency measures, we forecast that especially the result of the Housing Finland segment will remain far from its potential in 2026-2027 due to low volume levels in both consumer and investor projects. We maintain our target price at EUR 2.9 and our recommendation at Reduce.
