GCQ Flagship Fund GCQ Funds Management Pty Ltd | “Average Revenue Per Listing (ARPL) grew +12% YOY, while paid listings decreased -38% YOY. Hemnet operates the dominant real estate advertising portal in Sweden. It is the Swedish equivalent of realestate.com.au in Australia, but with an even greater lead against the #2 property portal. Our most recent mistake has been not selling enough Hemnet when it was trading at all-time highs in 2024 and early-2025. We followed our process at the time and cut the position meaningfully following a period of strong share price performance, but we should have sold more. We were also too early to add to our position on the way down. To say the least, the magnitude of Hemnet's listing volume contraction and share price decline has surprised us. In 2026, home transaction volumes are on track to be far worse than the levels we saw in 2023, though in recent weeks there have been some tentative signs of a bottom. Hemnet's weak listing volumes have also added fuel to a narrative that Hemnet is losing share of both consumer eyeballs and home listings to Booli. Based on our research, we believe these competitive concerns are drastically overblown. Our detailed proprietary work on transaction volumes shows that Hemnet remains a commercial monopoly with well above 80% of all properties that sell in Sweden being listed on Hemnet. Today, Hemnet is trading on just ~13x forward earnings after tax – a valuation that we could not have believed if you told us a year ago. We expect that cyclically depressed listing volumes will rebound over the next few years, while Hemnet will continue to grow Average Revenue Per Listing through a combination of premiumisation and like-for-like price increases. We were pleased to see that Sprints, one of the original private equity firms involved in Hemnet prior to its initial public offering in 2021, bought back a 3% stake in the company at SEK 73 per share earlier this month.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 28, 2026 | View Pitch |
“Hemnet possesses a dominant near-monopolistic position in the Swedish real estate market with 90% listing share and organic traffic. Recent changes to the agent incentive program have successfully driven high-tier ad package penetration, and the expedited launch of the 'Max' super-premium tier is expected to drive substantial average revenue per listing growth.” | BULL | Q1 2025 Mar 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
