Lendlease Global Commercial REIT Higher reversion for longer
FY23 revenue and NPI doubled to S$204.9m and S$153.9m, respectively, and were below our expectations at 94% and 91%. Healthy retail rental reversion of 4.8% and increasing contribution from Jem were the main driving factors. We anticipate these trends to continue in FY24e, with additional upside potential from 313@somerset. FY23 DPU was at 101.5% of our expectations. DPU decreased to 4.7 cents (-3.2% YoY) due to rising interest costs at 2.69% (+1% YoY).

CENT’s strong results in 1H23, with revenue up 8% yoy to $98m and PATMI up 16% to $38.3m, were driven by strong occupancies and positive rental revisions across both of its PBWA and PBSA segments. Going forward, we expect CENT to continue to see strong volume and rental growth with a strong pipeline of new contracts and robust demand. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$0.50.

Singapore Exchange (SGX SP) FY23 Results Preview: Expect A Flat Finish, Dragged By Lower Volumes
For FY23, we expect SGX to report minor yoy growth in revenue and PATMI, driven by higher treasury income and a strong contribution from the FICC segment. A lower contribution from cash equities is likely to drag on overall earnings while equity derivatives would be stable yoy. With a lack of near-term catalysts, we maintain HOLD but with a higher target price of S$10.28 (S$9.57 previously).

Airports of Thailand (AOT TB) 3QFY23: Earnings Outlook Continues To Look Promising
AOT reported net profit and core profit of Bt3.2b (+243% yoy, +69% qoq), fuelled by the absence of a 50% discount for airline operators and the implementation of a new revenue collection method for concessionaires. Looking ahead, the earnings outlook remains promising, driven by travel demand, especially from Chinese tourists following the easing of visa requirements. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt83.00.
