Singapore REITs' Valuations Seen Largely Pricing in Interest-Rate Risks -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-05

0605 GMT - Singapore real-estate investment trusts' valuations appear to have largely priced in risk related to higher benchmark interest rates, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. The persistence of elevated long-end bond yields and shifts in monetary-policy expectations continue to weigh on near-term sentiment for Singapore REITs, the analysts say. However, these REITs still trade at a 2026 yield of 6.2%, which implies an attractive spread of around 4.0% against the 10-year Singapore government bond, the analysts add. They recommend focusing on sectors that have stronger earnings visibility, with resilient occupancies and exposure to supply-constrained submarkets that could sustain rent increases. DBS prefers the Grade A office subsector to industrial, retail and hospitality. CapitaLand Integrated Commercial and CapitaLand Ascendas are among DBS's large-cap picks. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
