0340 GMT - Suntec REIT is likely benefiting from a rebound in various events such as conventions in Singapore, UOB Kay Hian analyst Jonathan Koh says in a research report as the brokerage raises the REIT's target price to S$1.28 from S$1.23 with an unchanged hold rating. Net property income of the REIT's Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre rose 39% on year in 2H thanks to earlier-than-expected recovery of these events to pre-pandemic levels, the analyst notes. Also, the delay of Marina Bay Sands' integrated-resort expansion offers an opportunity for the REIT's Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre to capture larger share of increase in conventions, the analyst adds. Units are 1.7% higher at S$1.21. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
