0604 GMT - Keppel DC REIT is likely riding data-center tailwinds, Maybank Research's Krishna Guha says in a note as the analyst maintains the trust's buy rating. The REIT's nine-month distribution per unit rose 8.8% on year, thanks to acquisitions, strong portfolio performance and lower financing costs, the analyst notes. The REIT's focus is on asset-enhancement initiatives for its recently acquired KDC SGP 8 data center and acquiring hyperscale assets. The brokerage raises the trust's target price to S$2.60 from S$2.44 based on a three-stage dividend discount model with a cost of equity of 6.5% versus 6.7% previously, and a medium-term growth rate of 2%. Units are unchanged at S$2.43. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
