0634 GMT - IREIT Global's planned divestment of its Spanish office asset at a premium to valuation looks positive, RHB Research analyst Vijay Natarajan says in a research report. The divestment is at a 5.2% premium to June 2023's valuation and the REIT will book a gross gain of EUR1.2 million, the analyst says. The divestment will also strengthen the REIT's balance sheet position with a low gearing, offering debt headroom for opportunistic acquisitions, the analyst adds. RHB raises the unit's rating to buy from neutral and the target price to S$0.47 from S$0.42. Units are 1.2% lower at S$0.40. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
