Keppel REIT (KREIT SP) Rents Accelerating
Sound fundamentals, favourable risk-reward KREIT’s 1H22 DPU rose 1.2% YoY/3.1% HoH, as the Keppel Bay Tower acquisition helped offset its divestment of 275 George St. (Brisbane) in Jul 2021 and lower contribution from 8 Chifley Square (Sydney). Fundamentals remain sound, backed by tailwinds in office demand, improving occupancy and accelerating rents.
Leasing velocity is strong, and we raised DPUs by 3% to factor in a stronger rental recovery and lower interest costs. Riskreward is favourable at 5.5% FY23E yield, with limited downside from interest rate and cost sensitivities. We raise our DDM-based TP (COE: 6.6%, LTG: 2.0%) to SGD1.25 from SGD1.20. Reiterate BUY.

Mapletree Industrial Trust (MINT SP) Data-driven Growth
Strong 1Q23, maintain BUY MINT’s 1Q23 DPU rose c.4% YoY/flat QoQ, driven by rising US data centre contributions, now at c.51% of AUM. The performance was in line with consensus and slightly above our estimates; we raise DPUs by 1-2% on stronger occupancies and rents, while our DDM-based TP stays at SGD3.00 (COE: 6.6%, LTG: 2.0%).
Growth headwinds from inflationary pressures and rising interest rates are partly offset by retained capital distributions, and a strong balance sheet. Valuations are undemanding at c.5% yield, backed by improving fundamentals from better occupancies, recovering industrial rents, and higher DPU visibility from its rising data centre tenancies. BUY.

ESR-LOGOS REIT Sized up for growth ■ In our post-merger forecasts for ELOG, FY22F DPU is 3 Scts, with potential for growth accelerating from FY24F via capital recycling and asset enhancement. ■ At 7.3% FY22F DPU yield, ELOG is attractively valued vs. industrial SREITs’ average of c.6%. Asset recycling, M&A and trading liquidity are key catalysts. ■ Benefits of transformative merger are still underappreciated, in our view. We reiterate our Add rating with a higher DDM-based TP of S$0.51. |
OUE Commercial REIT Riding recovery and demand-supply tailwinds
■ OUECT’s 1H22 DPU of 1.08 Scts came in below at 39.9% of our FY22F. ■ Strong recovery in the hospitality and retail portfolio, while healthier office occupancy and limited supply give OUECT the ability to drive rents. ■ Reiterate a Hold rating with a lower DDM-based TP of S$0.39.
