It's a packed earnings week for S-REITs — here's a look at which names stood out and which ones lagged behind!

Keppel REIT’s H1 2025 DPU fell 2.9% to S$0.0272. Distributable income dropped 1.4% to S$95.5 million, due partly to 25% of management fees being paid in cash.

Despite lower payouts, property income rose 9.1% to S$136.5 million and NPI grew 11.8% to S$108.3 million, mainly from better performance at Australian assets.

2. $First Reit(AW9U.SI)$ -3.57%, Yield: 8.89%

FX losses from rupiah and yen hurt results, though ID asset rents grew 5.5% in local currency.

Distributable income fell 4.8% due to currency headwinds and larger unit base. Gearing rose to 41.2%, ICR steady at 3.7x.

H1 2025 total DPU flat at 1.1239 cents, but core DPU rose 8.1%.

H1 DPU rose 1% to S$0.0197. Distributable income surged 31.2% to S$119.4 million, driven by Ventura acquisition, City Energy, and Ixom performance.

CapLand 52-W Highs: Are SREIT ETFs Smart Play?
Singapore’s REIT market has been shining in 2025. For Singapore investors, REITs have long been synonymous with steady cash flow and high dividends. With Singapore’s tax advantages, REIT ETFs could become an even more important tool for long-term portfolio allocation. Do you think it’s safer to buy individual REITs or go with ETFs? If you could only pick one REIT ETF, which would you choose—and why? With S-REITs hitting new highs, would you still chase now, or wait for a pullback? How do you think a Fed rate cut would impact REITs?

    S-REITs的这个财报季表现好坏参半。我重视资本收益和股息收益率——稳定的收入固然很好,但资本增长会推动长期回报。对我来说,最好的房地产投资信托基金平衡了强劲的基本面和主动的资产管理。

    ESR REIT和吉宝基础设施信托给我留下了深刻的印象。ESR显示出强劲的收入和NPI增长,而吉宝基础设施的可分配收入随着其能源转型敞口而激增。这些名字提供了产量和增长。相比之下,First REIT和KepPacOak则面临外汇风险和成本压力,这提醒人们对海外投资组合保持谨慎。

    我更喜欢负债稳定、入住率稳定、管理主动的房地产投资信托基金。本地投资和对冲良好的海外投资组合最适合我。虽然收益率很重要,但我也在寻找基本面改善的被低估房地产投资信托基金的资本上行空间。

    这次财报季,S-REITs传递的信息可以说是相当现实也有点残酷:派息不再是理所当然的“保障”。部分REITs因为资产重估、利息成本飙升,甚至连续两年暂停派息,这对习惯了“每季度收红包”的散户来说,打击不小。


    像Manulife US REIT就是典型案例——资产净值不断被侵蚀,租户流失、融资困难,导致DPU归零,投资者如果还留着,不仅没分红,连本金都缩水。这说明过去那种“靠高息养老”的逻辑,必须重新审视了。


    我个人目前持有的是Keppel DC REIT和Mapletree Logistics Trust,这两者虽然近几个季度也面对压力,但资产质地还算健康,管理团队也较积极调整策略。比起盲目追高息率,我更看重长期的资本增值能力。8%收益率听起来很美,但如果资产持续贬值、债务膨胀,那这“高息”可能只是短期幻觉。


    总结一句话:现在的S-REITs,已经从“高息股”转型成一场“风险管理”的游戏。要选的,不只是派息率,更要看资产质量、债务结构和管理层是否肯与市场同步调整。

    Think whether s-reits worth it with falling DPU will depend on stock selection, buy price and holding time. Still buy more when "appropriate" and glad to collect dividends.

    Despite falling Distributions Per Unit (DPU) due to higher interest rates, S-REITs continue to offer attractive yields for income-focused investors, with potential capital gains if interest rate cuts occur。。。

    This earnings season highlights that choosing between high dividend yield or capital appreciation depends on individual investment goals。。。

    Both capital gains and high dividend yields have their pros and cons in the current market environment。。。

    S-reits are not so attractive at this moment after a period of surge. Should take some profit for some long term investors.

    Reits are affected by the interest rate environment. Only strong reits perform well
