0228 GMT - Frasers Centrepoint Trust's 2H results show its retail portfolio strength despite the exit of cinema operator Cathay Cineplexes at two malls, says Citi's Brandon Lee in a note. The REIT's retail portfolio booked strong occupancy, higher rental reversion and tenant sale improvements, he says. Lee expects the two affected malls to easily sign new tenants with decently higher rental leases, given that cinemas have relatively lower rent compared with the REIT's passing portfolio rent. While Frasers Centrepoint Trust's units have outperformed the sector year to date, Lee continues to be bullish on the Singapore retail REIT thanks to its suburban retail portfolio. Citi maintains its buy rating and S$2.51 target. Units are flat at S$2.44. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
