Trading activity in the Singapore real estate investment trust (S-Reit) sector rose overall in the second half of 2025 compared with the first half, amid new Reit listings and a number of mid-cap S-Reits seeing improved trading activity.
The combined average daily traded value (ADTV) of S-Reits rose to more than S$240 million in H2 2025, compared with around S$230 million in the H1 of the year, boosted by contributions from the listings of Centurion Accommodation Reit and NTT DC Reit : NTDU +1% in the third quarter of 2025.
Excluding the new listings, ADTV for the sector was relatively stable, even though several mid-cap Reits saw liquidity surge in H2. The S-Reits that had ADTV rise the most in H2 included Aims Apac Reit : O5RU 0%, Lendlease Global Commercial Reit : JYEU 0% (LReit), Sasseur Reit : CRPU +0.74%, OUE Reit : TS0U -1.37% and Elite UK Reit : MXNU 0%.

The three analysts with recommendations on the stock currently have “buy” calls with an average target price of S$1.52, which is the same as its closing price on Friday.
3. $Sasseur Reit(CRPU.SI)$
Sasseur Reit also saw ADTV more than double in H2 compared with H1, rising to S$0.9 million from S$0.4 million in the prior period.

Elite UK Reit’s ADTV rose around 80% to nearly S$200,000 in H2. The Reit announced in November a 9.4% improvement in DPU for the nine-month period ended September on the back of higher revenue and improved occupancy.
Its interest coverage ratio also improved to 2.7 times in September 2025 from 2.5 times in end-2024, with no refinancing due until 2027.
Elite UK Reit delivered 12.9% total returns in H2 2025, extending from the 18.9% total returns in H1. It currently has six “buy” ratings from analysts with zero “hold” or “sell” calls, and an average target price of £0.40, representing an 11.1% return potential from its current level of £0.36.

In October, Maybank analyst Krishna Guha upgraded his call on OUE Reit to “buy” from “hold” and raised the target price to S$0.38 from S$0.30. He is among the five analysts who currently have a “buy” rating on OUE Reit, with an average target price of S$0.39, representing a 6.8% upside from its S$0.365 closing price on Friday.
