Meta Estate Trust Ends Q1 with a Profit of 1.5 Million Lei and Over 5 Million Euros Available for Investment Opportunities

  • Q1 2025 marked a period of active investment activity for Meta Estate Trust.
  • Analysts from Goldring, a Romanian brokerage company, estimate the MET share price to range between 0.79 and 0.83 lei in the next 12 months.
  • A milestone victory: Meta Estate Trust won the first court ruling in the lawsuit against its former administrator, with the Bucharest Tribunal rejecting the claim as unfounded.

Bucharest, May 26, 2025

Meta Estate Trust (stock ticker: MET), a holding-type company operating in the real estate sector and acting as a gateway between the real estate and capital markets, ended the first quarter of 2025 with a profit of 1.54 million lei and total revenues of 5.67 million lei, in line with its projected Q1 budget.

The company secured an exit of 2.65 million euros from the Novarion project and a bank loan, bringing its cash position to over 5 million euros, nearly a quarter of its equity.

“The Q1 profit reflects both active investment and improved operational performance. Although sales were slower compared to Q1 2024 due to economic and political instability, we managed to offset this with a significant 28% reduction in operational expenses.

We now have a strong cash position to support our pipeline investments and quickly seize market opportunities.

We're also focusing on diversifying funding sources as we expand into the retail sector.

The company’s solid capitalization and low debt level allow us to leverage capital efficiently to meet our short- and medium-term goals,” said Alexandru Bonea, CEO of Meta Estate Trust.

Meta Estate Trust: Future Regulated Market Listing

Goldring analysts project MET stock in the 0.79–0.83 lei range, based on its previous year’s financial performance, expansion outlook, and intensified strategic growth plan. Currently, MET trades at 0.635 lei per share.

The company is actively preparing for a transition to the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange in early 2026, post-capital operations. As part of this process, it completed a preferred share buyback program (January–February 2025), reacquiring over 86% of preferred shares. This is followed by a capital increase.

Milestone Legal Victory

Meanwhile, the Board of Directors efficiently handled a dispute with the former management company. On May 5, 2025, the Bucharest Tribunal rejected the former administrator’s claim as unfounded. The decision will be written and justified, and may be appealed within 30 days of its communication. Meta Estate Trust will continue to keep the market updated in a proactive and transparent manner.

“This first-instance ruling strengthens legal stability and investor confidence, eliminating a potential risk.

From the start, the Board treated this case with the utmost seriousness, always prioritizing shareholder interests.

After more than a year of proceedings, the court finally began substantive deliberations this year, and we’re confident the decision will be upheld,” said Laurențiu Dinu, Chairman of the Board at Meta Estate Trust.

New Investments

Meta Estate Trust recently announced investments of nearly 4 million euros in four residential projects at various construction stages, strategically located in Bucharest, developed by HILS Development and Exigent Development. These projects form a key part of the company’s Trading division strategy for the next 2–3 years, aiming to maximize investment returns.

In the retail sector, the company plans to invest 10 million euros during 2025, targeting operational retail parks with food anchors and long-term lease agreements (10–15 years).
