Analysts have trimmed their price target on Keppel REIT by about S$0.02, citing a slightly higher discount rate as well as modestly improved revenue decline expectations, stronger profit margins, and a lower projected future P/E multiple.

What's in the News

  • Keppel REIT agreed to acquire a 75 percent effective interest in Top Ryde City Shopping Centre, a freehold retail mall in Sydney, for AUD 393.8 million, approximately SGD 334.8 million (Key Developments).
  • The Top Ryde City asset offers an aggregate lettable area of 77,054 square metres and 2,739 car park lots, and is part of a larger mixed use development in the City of Ryde (Key Developments).
  • Non discretionary tenants account for 77 percent of total gross rental income, with anchors including ALDI, Big W, Coles, Kmart and Woolworths, supporting stable footfall and income (Key Developments).
  • The mall has a high committed occupancy rate of 96 percent and a long weighted average lease expiry of 4.2 years by committed gross rent, positioning it as a defensive income producing asset (Key Developments).
  • The acquisition is expected to generate a fully leased initial property yield of 6.7 percent and pro forma adjusted DPU accretion of 1.34 percent (Key Developments).

Valuation Changes

  • Fair Value: Revised down slightly from SGD 1.07 to about SGD 1.04 per unit. This reflects a modest reduction in estimated intrinsic value.
  • Discount Rate: Increased marginally from roughly 6.34 percent to 6.36 percent. This implies a slightly higher required return applied in the valuation.
  • Revenue Growth: Still negative but improved, with the expected annual revenue decline easing from about 3.22 percent to around 3.04 percent.
  • Net Profit Margin: Upgraded meaningfully from approximately 54.33 percent to 60.67 percent, indicating expectations of stronger profitability.
  • Future P/E: Reduced from about 26.1x to 22.8x, suggesting a lower projected earnings multiple despite improved margin assumptions.
