** Handelsbanken raises short-term recommendation on Castellum CAST.ST to "buy" from "hold," seeing the Swedish property company aswell prepared to face headwinds and invest in existing assets

** Although brokers' base case for the share remains unchanged, in its viewCastellum's almost 20% underperformance year-to-date makes the stock attractive for investors wanting a broader exposure to Nordic real estate

** It says that a firmer financial position of Entra ENTRA.OL, in which Castellum holds a 1/3 ownership, rights issue carried out in 2023, and disposals, result in the Swedish landlord being financially prepared to weather high rates, invest and engage in growth-accretive project developments

** Handelsbanken is of opinion that Castellum was"punished too harshly" for soft Q1, and believes the company will continue taking necessary steps to regain investors trust

** The brokerage keeps its long-term three years recommendation on Castellum at "Market Perform"

** The stock rise 3% at 1020 GTM, making it one of best performers on STOXX 600 .STOXX index
