Overview
On 3 March 2025, OCBC Investment Research Private Limited released an in‐depth report covering the latest trends, key takeaways, and detailed peer comparisons across Singapore REITs and Business Trusts. The exhaustive analysis provides investors with a deep dive into each listed company, outlining performance metrics, distribution forecasts, and tailored recommendations based on medium-term views. The report not only evaluates current distribution per unit (DPU), pricing, yields and fundamentals, but also projects risk-adjusted fair value estimates taking into account refinancing activities, ESG ratings, and sector-specific demand‐supply dynamics.
Sector Updates & Key Considerations
The report’s initial key takeaways highlight significant developments affecting the sector. Stoneweg European REIT’s (SERT) FY24 DPU of 14.106 Euro cents met expectations at 100.5% of forecast, although an early refinancing resulted in lowered FY25 and FY26 DPU forecasts by 11.8% and 8.6%, respectively. Furthermore, a raised risk‐free rate from 2.5% to 2.75% combined with an adjusted beta penalty after an ESG downgrade resulted in a reduction of the fair value estimate from EUR1.89 to EUR1.81. Meanwhile, robust real estate fundamentals in Singapore have favored retail and industrial assets, even as industrial properties face supply challenges and rental consolidation after a long period of growth. The office sector remains neutral amidst uncertain global economic conditions, and the hospitality sector is expected to see normalizing growth with potential downside risks.
