stock highlights where we feature interesting news and snippets from corporate events and announcements.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DCRU.SI\">Digital Core REIT</a></h3><p>Digital Core REIT announced its maiden acquisition since its IPO last November.</p><p>The data centre REIT has agreed to purchase a 25% stake in a freehold data centre in Frankfurt, Germany, for around US$558 million from its sponsor, Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR).</p><p>In addition, Digital Core REIT will have the option to acquire up to an 89.9% interest in the aforementioned Frankfurt data centre and a 90% interest in a data centre in Dallas, US.</p><p>Whether the REIT manager will take up the option will depend on its ability to raise capital successfully to partially finance the transaction.</p><p>Should the fundraising not take place, the transaction will be purely debt-funded and only involve the 25% stake in the Frankfurt data centre.</p><p>The Frankfurt facility has a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 4.7 years and is 91% occupied, while the Dallas data centre has a WALE of 15.4 years and is fully occupied.</p><p>Should both transactions go through, Digital Core REIT’s portfolio will increase from US$1.4 billion to US$2 billion.</p><p>The debt-funded scenario will result in a 2% increase in Digital Core REIT’s fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022) distribution per unit (DPU).</p><p>With equity fundraising, the accretion to DPU will be 3.1%, raising 1H2022’s DPU from US$0.0206 to US$0.0212.</p><p>Aggregate leverage stands at 25.7% currently and will increase to 33% under the debt-funded scenario and 37.5% under the equity fundraising option.</p><p>Either way, the deal appears to be within Digital Core REIT’s financial means.</p><h3>US Federal Reserve</h3><p>The US Federal Reserve has hiked the federal funds rate once again during its recent meeting, raising it by 0.75 percentage points.</p><p>It was the third consecutive 0.75 percentage point increase and takes the policy rate to a range of between 3% to 3.25%.</p><p>This move was a widely-anticipated one as the central bank vowed to push on in its fight against the highest inflation the country has seen in four decades.</p><p>Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell made it clear that “some pain” was necessary to bring inflation down to the central bank’s target of 2%.</p><p>These hawkish remarks imply that there are more rate hikes necessary for months to come if inflation does not decline.</p><p>This latest statement suggests that the central bank now sees the need for a more prolonged monetary tightening cycle that will not let up easily, contrary to what many had expected.</p><p>Back in the 1980s, it took numerous rate hikes and a recession to finally bring inflation under control.</p><p>Economists now project that the Federal Reserve will hike rates by another 1.25 percentage points this year with more next year.</p><p>They also expect that no cuts will be announced until at least 2024.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/S58.SI\">SATS Ltd </a></h3><p>Bloomberg reported that SATS is in discussions to acquire air cargo handler Worldwide Flight Services for as much as US$3 billion.</p><p>The latter was founded in 1971 and operates in more than 160 major airports in over 20 countries.</p><p>The report also claimed that the Singaporean airline food caterer had sounded out financing options from Worldwide Flight Services’ private equity owner, Cerberus Capital Management.</p><p>In response, SATS released a terse statement about this potential acquisition, stating that no definitive terms or formal legal documentation have been agreed upon.</p><p>It also pointed out that the Bloomberg report contained “materially inaccurate facts”.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of the ground handler fell sharply on the news, dipping by 5.1% from S$4.09 to S$3.88.</p><p>Investors should note that the transaction price mentioned by Bloomberg is equivalent to around S$4.26 billion.</p><p>SATS’ market capitalisation is now close to S$4.3 billion.</p><p>Assuming that the transaction takes place, SATS will be purchasing a company at a price that is close to its market capitalisation, implying that the transaction is very material.</p><p>Our beginner’s guide to investing is finally here!
