NewRiver REIT reports adjusted operating result (FFO) of £37.2m for the 2026 financial year, up 22% year on year. The company completed a 10% share buyback and recorded an IFRS net profit after tax of £31.7m; the full-year contribution from the acquisition of Capital & Regional and annual net cost synergies of £6.2m were key drivers of the growth. The like-for-like portfolio valuation rose 0.7%, lettings were on average 8.5% above expected rental value (ERV) and 37.3% above the previous rent, while asset disposals were made at book value. NewRiver expects rising financing costs over the next three years to be offset by rental growth and judges demand for price-sensitive consumer goods to be resilient. » Plus sur de.investing.com
