Draft Royal Decree Weighs on Merlin Shares; Uncertainty Raised to High; Valuation Remains Attractive
Business Strategy and Outlook
Merlin Properties is aggressively scaling its data center portfolio to be the primary revenue driver; data centers are forecast to account for 65% of gross rental income by 2032. This strategy leverages Iberia’s relative advantages over legacy European hubs: land and energy abundance and subsea cable connectivity. Meanwhile, the group maintains its position in traditional asset classes (offices, logistics, and shopping centers).
