What could nudge SPH REIT’s unit price higher?

SINGAPORE (Oct 10): CIMB has raised its target price on SPH REIT to $1.05 from $1.03 previously, while maintaining its “hold” rating based on limited upside.

In a Friday note, analysts Lock Mun Yee and Yeo Zhi Bin say SPH REIT’s acquisition of Seletar Mall is likely be a share price catalyst in the medium-term, while the ongoing asset enhancement initiatives (AEIs) should lift its revenue marginally over the next two years.

“With a low gearing of 25.7%, the trust is well placed, in our view, to explore inorganic growth opportunities, such as potential acquisition of the Seletar Mall, which is majority-owned by its sponsor (Singapore Press Holdings),” state the analysts.
