Hong Kong Retail REITs' Valuations Remain Reasonable -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-07

0241 GMT - Hong Kong retail-focused real-estate investment trusts' valuations remain reasonable, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. The city's retail sector showed signs of improvement in late 2025, but the extent of the recovery varied across subsectors, they note. Discretionary spending saw a decent uptick last year, but brick-and-mortar stores selling daily essentials and other household items continued to face challenges from online commerce. Still, they say the valuations of Link REIT and Fortune REIT remain attractive with prospective dividend yields of 7.3% and 7.7%, respectively, despite near-term headwinds from lower rates of rents renewed. "Over the longer term, population growth and minimum wage increases should serve as key demand drivers for nondiscretionary retail in Hong Kong," the analysts add. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
