The market assumes the recent re-rating has fully captured the benefits of Castellum's disposal programme.
Data shows disposals have gathered pace, with multiple transactions completed in 2024, while the stock's re-rating may still be incomplete relative to the deleveraging trajectory.
The implication is that Castellum's risk premium could compress further as the balance sheet strengthens, potentially driving additional valuation upside.
