Excerpt from Maybank Research Pte Ltd report.
Report Summary:
- Keppel REIT delivered stable operational performance in FY25, with occupancy rising in both Singapore and Australia, and continued positive rent reversions; however, an enlarged unit base from a preferential offering diluted distribution per unit (DPU), which fell 10.4% year-on-year.
- Gearing temporarily increased due to acquisitions but is expected to normalize after loan repayments; the REIT’s immediate focus is on organic growth and lowering borrowing expenses, while headwinds include higher interest rates, frictional vacancies, and retail diversification in Australia.
