Icade Remains A Trap Following Recent Earnings

  • Icade's low valuation and high-dividend yield are justified by fundamental issues, particularly its focus on second-tier office locations in Paris, unlike its peer Gecina. Icade's gross asset value declined by 6.4% YoY, and its high vacancy rate of 15.3% highlights weak demand for its properties. Despite a solid balance sheet, Icade's dividend is likely to be cut significantly due to lower proceeds from healthcare asset sales.
