Keppel REIT's Maiden Australia Retail Foray Seems Logical -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2025-10-08

0603 GMT - Keppel REIT's first Australian retail buy looks logical to Citi analyst Brandon Lee, as the acquisition likely offers decent distribution-per-unit accretion. The REIT plans to acquire a 75% stake in a Sydney shopping mall for around A$393.8 million and will partly finance the deal through a private placement. Lee says in a note he expects a DPU accretion of 1.1%-1.4% from the deal and thinks the REIT's estimate of 0.9% is conservative. The REIT targets a 20% retail exposure over the longer term, but Lee cautions that retail assets could dilute Keppel REIT's longstanding value proposition as a direct proxy for Grade A Singapore office properties. Citi maintains its neutral rating and S$0.86 target on the REIT, which last closed at S$1.03. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
