YIT

Leading Finnish and a significant North European construction company

Overview

YIT is a European developer and contractor with operations in Finland, Baltics and Central Eastern European countries. YIT was founded in 1912 and listed in 1995 on the Helsinki stock exchange. The company employs currently some 4,100 employees across the operating regions. YIT specializes in the development and construction of residential, business premises, and infrastructure projects. In 2024, majority of the company’s revenue came from Housing and Business Premises construction (approximately 80% of total sales) while Infrastructure was approximately fifth of the revenue. In 2024, YIT was by a clear margin the largest construction company in Finland. In addition to its overall leading position, the company is also a leading player in the Finnish market in both infrastructure and renovation sectors. In the Baltics and CEE, the company’s competitive position varies by market, with opportunities to increase market share in countries such as Poland.
With low number of residential completions expected for 2025E, the residential net sales will still fall compared to last year. Going forward, we expect strong starts in Residential CEE in 2025 to drive completion volumes in 2026 which supports the segments volumes and profitability. For Residential Finland, the market remains largely in stand-by mode and we forecast more material pick-up in pace starting from 2027. With higher volumes, improving sales mix and ongoing self-help in contracting, we estimate rapid earnings growth from a low base during 2025-2027.
