Vonovia stock slips as financing costs blunt rental growth

Vonovia's nine-month results show a resilient rental business confronting higher financing costs and a tougher property transaction market. The figures were released on Wednesday, November 4, by Vonovia's 9M results release.

Rental operations remain resilient

Adjusted EBITDA from rental operations rose 3.5% to EUR 1,912.2 million in the first nine months of 2026, despite a residential portfolio that was approximately 5,000 units smaller than a year earlier. Organic rent growth reached 3.8%, while the vacancy rate stood at 2.3% and the collection rate at 99.6%.

The Value-add segment added further momentum, with adjusted EBITDA increasing 31.4% to EUR 197.2 million. Group adjusted EBITDA advanced 3.3% to EUR 2,187.4 million, supported by demand for rental housing and the company's craftsmen and energy businesses.

Financing weighs on cash generation

Higher financing expenses pushed adjusted earnings before tax down 3.5% to EUR 1,408.0 million. Operating free cash flow fell 34.1% to EUR 932.5 million, leaving the key investor question focused on how quickly operating growth can translate into cash.

Vonovia realized approximately EUR 900 million in disposals during the first nine months. Management expects adjusted EBITDA for 2026 in the lower half of its EUR 2.95 billion to EUR 3.05 billion range and has lowered its organic rent-growth expectation to approximately 3.8% from approximately 4%.
