Singapore REITs - Laggard S-REITs Have Potential To Outperform




Blue-chip S-REITs have already outperformed.

  • Blue-chip S-REITs have large market capitalisation, high trading liquidity and are included in major indices. They usually lead the market during the up-cycle. They are backed by branded sponsors, such as CapitaLand (SGX:C31) and Mapletree. Their positive attributes are well recognised and appreciated by investors and they trade at lower distribution yields and usually at significant premiums to NAV.




Laggard S-REITs could play catch-up.

  • Laggard S-REITs follow blue-chip S-REITs after a time lag. They have smaller market capitalisation, lower trading liquidity and are usually not a component stock of major indices. They are underappreciated by many investors even though the quality of their real estate portfolios could be comparable to blue-chip S-REITs. Thus, they trade at higher distribution yields and larger discounts to NAV.


Latching on laggard S-REITs.



ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust (BUY/ Target Price: S$0.85)



Far East Hospitality Trust (SGX:Q5T) (BUY/ Target Price: S$0.74)



Lendlease Global Commercial REIT (BUY/ Target Price: S$0.97)



Suntec REIT (BUY/ Target Price: S$1.75)

  • Sustaining positive rental reversions. Suntec City Office is expected to maintain positive rental reversion as the average expiring rent is low at S$8.76psf pm for 2021. The return of employees to their offices and convention attendees will improve shopper traffic and tenant sales at Suntec City Mall.
  • Development projects starting to contribute. 9 Penang Road in Singapore (30% stake), 477 Collins Street in Melbourne (50% stake) and 21 Harris Street in Sydney (100% stake) will make full-year contributions in 2021.
  • Maiden acquisition in the UK. Suntec REIT's newly-acquired Nova Properties is located at Victoria (opposite the Victoria Station), the West End of London, and provides an NPI yield of 4.6% and long WALE of 11.1 years.
  • Our target price of S$1.75 is based on DDM (cost of equity: 6.5%, terminal growth: 1.0%).

United Hampshire US REIT (BUY/ Target Price: US$0.92)



S-REITs sector catalysts

  • Environment of persistently low interest rates, which keeps investors’ interest fixated on yield plays, such as S-REITs.
  • Limited new supply for office, logistics and retail segments in 2021.
