Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT SP) Resilient Space
Delivering ahead again; upping DPUs, TP MLT delivered a strong 1Q22, ahead of both ours and consensus’ estimates, as DPU increased 5.7% YoY (or +10.7% YoY, excluding the impact of divestment gains), driven by higher rental income and contribution from SGD1.6b in acquisitions completed in FY21. We expect occupancies to stay resilient on the back of steady demand growth, and raised DPUs by 4% on stronger rental assumptions. Tightening cap rates amid strong liquidity could ease deal momentum in FY22, even as MLT eyes DPU upside from rejuvenation opportunities in Singapore. Our DDM-based TP (COE: 5.7%, LTG: 2.0%) rises to SGD2.35 (from SGD2.25). BUY.

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH SP) Recovery In Sight For UK Assets
SPH’s media restructuring EGM is slated for Aug-Sep 21. The media segment continues to see ad revenue dip while facing challenges on the cost front. Looking beyond, the group’s student accommodation assets are seeing better prospects with the expected return of international students. In developing its asset management capabilities, we opine that a potential spin-off of the student accommodation assets could unlock value. Maintain BUY with a higher SOTP-based target price of S$2.00.
