A decent business — some strong pillars, some weaker.

Winston Score between 40 and 70. The stock passes some quality checks but not all.

Fastighets AB Balder is a Swedish real estate company that owns and manages a large portfolio of properties across the Nordic region. Its holdings include residential apartments, commercial offices, hotels, and retail spaces, with tenants ranging from everyday renters to businesses and hotel operators. Balder is one of the largest listed property companies in the Nordic countries by asset value.

The company makes money by collecting rent from tenants across its properties, giving it a steady, recurring income stream. It operates primarily in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, and has grown significantly through acquisitions over the past two decades. Balder's scale and diversified property mix provide some stability, but the company carries a high level of debt — common in real estate — which makes it sensitive to rising interest rates, and managing that debt load remains the central financial risk the business faces.
