Following the announcement of the consolidated financial results for the first half of 2026, Mr. Dimitris Papoulis, CEO of Trade Estates REIC, stated: “The H1 2026 results are fully aligned with the targets we have set for the full year and confirm the momentum and resilience of our business model. Revenue growth, the strong performance of our retail parks and the further strengthening of the value of our portfolio underpin the generation of stable cash flows and sustainable value for our shareholders. The second half of the year is expected to further accelerate our growth trajectory, with the full operation of the Inter IKEA International Distribution Center in Aspropyrgos, the Ellinikon Retail Park entering into the construction phase, and the agreement to acquire a 50% stake in Sofia South Ring Mall in Bulgaria, which substantially expands our presence in Southeastern Europe. At the same time, we continue to evaluate new investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria and can further enhance the scale, diversification and growth prospects of our portfolio. We remain firmly committed to executing our strategy, investing in high-quality retail and logistics properties, with a clear focus on expanding our portfolio, strengthening recurring revenues and creating long-term value.” View the complete Press Release here:

Trade Estates REIC (TRESTATES), listed on the Euronext Athens market, is a fast-growing real estate investment company focused on modern retail parks and new-generation logistics assets in Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria. Edison has initiated coverage of Trade Estates and in this interview, Mr Dimitris Papoulis, CEO, discusses the company’s performance, strategy and prospects. He highlights how the structural growth trends in retail spending and the limited supply of suitable properties are underpinning Trade Estates’ growth strategy. Since it was established in 2021 (it listed in 2023), the company has grown to be Greece’s dominant owner of modern retail parks, almost tripling its gross assets and nearly doubling net assets. Cash earnings and dividends per share have tripled. Meanwhile a fully funded development pipeline provides visibility of further strong growth through 2028. Perhaps most important of all is what Mr Papoulis says about the company’s deep retail sector expertise and active management, which has been a key driver of sustained value creation and enhanced returns.
