Hospitality REITs are the worst performers in Q3

The subsectors' distribution per unit fell 10.8%.

Singapore's hospitality REITs fared the worst amongst S-REITs, recording a 10.8% YoY fall in distribution per unit (DPU) in Q3, OCBC Investment Research revealed.

According to a sector analysis, the drag largely came from Ascott Residence Trust's (ART) 28.1% DPU decline due to dilution from a rights issue exercise earlier this year. Besides ART, Far East Hospitality Trust and CDL Hospitality Trusts saw declines of 8.0% and 6.1% in DPU, respectively.

The star in the hospitality sector was OUE Hospitality Trust, with robust DPU growth of 10.6%.

Meanwhile, retail and industrial REITs delivered gains in DPU growth, whilst the office sub-sector was dragged down by OUE Commercial REIT and to a smaller extent Frasers Commercial Trust and Suntec REIT.

Amongst 24 registered S-REITs, 13 saw YoY DPU growth, nine saw declines, whilst two were flat. Overall DPU growth dipped marginally by 0.2% YoY.

Singapore REITs' overall net property income (NPI) grew 4.8% YoY whilst distribution per unit dipped 0.2% in Q3

Data centres led the S-REITs' NPI growth at 42.1%, backed only by gains in the only registered REIT in the subsector, Keppel DC REIT. It had an NPI of $32.2m.

Meanwhile, hospitality REITs registered a 5% YoY growth, mainly supported by a 15.9% gain by CDL Hospitality Trusts.

Industrial REITs also showed 4.8% YoY NPI growth, backed by Viva Industrial Trust's 18.3% gain and Mapletree Industrial Trust's 11.1% increase. Meanwhile, Frasers Logistics & Industrial Trust and Cache Logistics Trust's NPI fell 4.4% and 3.3%, respectively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
