Vonovia, Germany's Largest Real Estate Group, Reports €529 Million Loss in H1 2024
Real Estate News:Vonovia, Germany's largest real estate group, reported a loss of €529 million in the first half of 2024, compared to a loss of €4.13 billion in the same period last year. The loss follows a writedown in the value of its apartments by 1.7% during the first half of the year. Despite this, the company is optimistic about its future prospects, with CEO Rolf Buch stating that the industry has 'bottomed out' and that Vonovia has 'left the crisis behind it'.

Buch built Vonovia through a series of multi-billion-euro takeovers, resulting in a debt mountain as the property crisis struck, forcing the company to sell swathes of homes. However, he hopes to resume buying apartments after concluding a sales programme this year. Vonovia forecasts full-year profit guidance to be at the upper end of its targets, and its shares rose 2.5% in early trade.
