UOB Kayhian this morning issued an ‘overweight’ rating on Singapore REITS, saying that it believed that REITS’ share prices had bottomed.

Last year, Singapore REITs plunged 56.3%.

The upside potential was emphasized by UOB Kayhian. ”Besides providing visible and recurrent income, there is further upside potential if credit market normalises in 2H09,” said analyst Jonathan Koh.

Its preferred BUYs are:

* Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT SP/BUY/Target: S$1.30) and CapitaMall

Trust (CT SP/BUY/Target: S$2.65) for retail;

* Ascendas REIT (AREIT SP/BUY/Target: S$2.72) for industrial;

* Ascott Residence (ART SP/BUY/Target: S$1.06) for hospitality;

* Suntec REIT (SUN SP/BUY/Target: S$1.33) for office Reits.

Another office REIT, CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT SP/BUY/Target: S$1.82) had already rebounded 27.0% in Dec 08.

The yield spread between Singapore REITs and 10-year government bond has receded from 11.7% in early Dec 08 to 9.8% currently.

“Nevertheless, a flattening yield curve will provide a boost as it eases pressure from the risk of refinancing. It also makes REITs more attractive to investors focusing on income and yield,” wrote Jonathan.
