2256 GMT - The key challenge for the earnings growth among Australia's real-estate investment trusts continues to be debt costs resetting to a higher spot market rate, and interest rates remaining higher for longer than anticipated, Citi says. Most REITs had a cost of debt below spot rates of 5.5%-6.0%, which is a bearish signal, analyst Suraj Nebhani says. "We see most downside for REITs that have debt costs significantly below spot including Abacus Storage King, Dexus, Charter Hall Long WALE REIT, Abacus Group, and BWP Trust," Citi says.
