GCQ Flagship Fund GCQ Funds Management Pty Ltd | “Hemnet's share price declined sharply in 2025, falling roughly 60% from its February peak, driven by cyclical weakness in Swedish housing transactions, speculation that alternative portal Booli is taking share, and broader market fears around AI disrupting classifieds businesses. Listing volumes fell as rising interest rates and tighter lending standards reduced transaction urgency, but this reflects a cyclical slowdown rather than a structural change in housing demand. GCQ's proprietary research shows Hemnet has retained approximately 86–90% market share of completed home sales, consistent with prior years, and brand awareness remains exceptionally high at around 95%. Concerns around Booli are overstated, as it relies on scraping agent listings and has existed for years without eroding Hemnet's dominance. Hemnet continues to charge materially less per listing than global peers, leaving ample runway for premiumisation and price increases as volumes normalize. At roughly 17x forward earnings, Hemnet trades at lower multiples than during prior downturns despite revenue more than doubling and EPS rising over 150% in the past three years. BSD Analysis: Hemnet is the dominant digital marketplace for Swedish residential real estate listings. Its position as the default destination creates powerful network effects between buyers, sellers, and agents. Transaction volumes fluctuate with housing cycles, but platform relevance does not. Pricing power is strong because listings are non-negotiable for sellers. Investors treat Hemnet like a cyclical property play instead of a data-driven marketplace. Margins remain high due to an asset-light model. Product enhancements deepen engagement without heavy spend. When housing recovers, operating leverage is immediate. This is real estate infrastructure hiding inside a tech multiple.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 22, 2026 | View Pitch |
