Keppel DC REIT Likely Has Sufficient Debt Headroom for Inorganic Growth

Dow Jones07-23 18:45

1045 GMT - Keppel DC REIT likely has sufficient debt headroom for inorganic growth after its aggregate leverage improved to 34% on the repayment of a loan, says OCBC Group Research's Andy Wong in a note. The move leaves comfortable debt headroom of around 673 million Singapore dollars against its 40% internal threshold, he says. The data-center real-estate investment trust's debt profile appears well-anchored, as 87% of its borrowings have been hedged with a weighted average debt and hedge tenor of 3.1 years, he says. The analyst raises his 2026 and 2027 distribution per unit projections by 4.7% and 3.0%, respectively. OCBC raises its fair-value estimate to S$2.86 from S$2.78 and retains a buy rating. Units closed 1.7% lower at S$2.30. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
