Report Summary
- Stock: Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT SP EQUITY)
- Action: BUY
- Target Price (Fair Value): SGD 0.580 (raised from SGD 0.545)
- Last Close: SGD 0.530
- Key Idea: KIT is recommended as a defensive play with exposure to diversified, inflation-protected infrastructure assets focused on sustainability, energy transition, and stable cash flows. Over 90% of its portfolio is shielded from inflation with cost pass-throughs or strong price-setting power. Acquisitions are a key growth driver.
- Highlights:
- 1Q26 distributable income (DI) rose 18.2% year-on-year to SGD 53.7m (excluding prior divestment gains).
- Proposed acquisition to increase stake in Keppel Merlimau Cogen (KMC) to 90%, potentially raising FFO and DPU by 8% and 6% respectively, if completed.
- Portfolio resilience is reinforced by long-term contracts and minimal impact expected from the Middle East conflict.
- Strong distribution yield: 7.5% (FY26E), with DPU projected to rise modestly over FY26-27.
- Key risks: refinancing challenges, regulatory issues, or lower-than-expected asset availability.
Call to Action: BUY with a target price of SGD 0.580. Keppel Infrastructure Trust offers defensive, inflation-hedged exposure to infrastructure with potential for DPU growth, supported by asset acquisitions and stable cash flows.
