Report Summary
- Stock: CDL Hospitality Trust (CDREIT SP)
- Action: Maintain Add
- Target Price: S\$0.90 (Current price: S\$0.81; potential upside: 11.1%)
- Key Idea: While 1QFY26 showed strong Net Property Income (NPI) growth of 10.4% year-on-year, momentum is expected to slow for the rest of FY26, but the outlook remains positive with expected yield of 6.23%. Management projects low single-digit RevPAR growth in Singapore and interest savings from recent debt management actions.
- Highlights:
- Revenue and DPS forecasts for FY26-28F were lowered by 4-10% due to a more muted outlook, but recovery is expected to be back-loaded.
- CDREIT raised S\$250m in perpetual securities to retire higher-cost debt, reducing gearing to 35.3% and average cost of debt to 2.8%.
- Asset enhancements and renovations are planned for key hotels in 2026.
- Key risks include prolonged disruptions in global travel demand and moderation in Singapore demand, partly due to geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
- ESG focus: CDREIT scored B- on LSEG ESG, is improving its disclosures and aims for Net Zero operations by 2050.
- Implications: Investors are advised to maintain positions, with upside potential upon resolution of uncertainties and continued operational improvements. The DDM-based target price remains at S\$0.90, positioning CDREIT as a steady yield play in the hospitality REIT sector.
