Why Is Japan’s 57% Occupancy Killing MPACT FY25/26 Dividends (MPACT FY25/26 Results Review) |🦖EP1578
The market sees “safe” S$ dividends, but the math sees 36.5% gearing chained to half‑empty North Asia offices. When MPACT’s DPU slips while overseas valuations fall 9.2%, I do not see a cosy CPF/SRS sanctuary; I see a Singapore retail engine forced to drag a weak China/Japan portfolio uphill. My stance this round is simple: treat MPACT as a forensic Watchlist, not a blind retirement core.
In a 5,000‑point STI era, the benchmark is no longer “any REIT yield above fixed deposit”. With the six‑month T‑Bill clustering around 1.37% and my Forensic Floor at 3.2%, you should demand at least a 4.7% spread that is actually defendable, not just printed on last year’s slide. If your S$100,000 is working harder for the balance sheet than the balance sheet is working for you, it is time to re‑price the risk.
