RESEARCH REPORTS
OUE REIT – Prime CBD commercial assets drive performance
Recommendation: BUY; TP S$0.45; Last close: S$0.36; Analyst Hashim Osman
- 2H25/FY25 DPU of 1.25/2.23 Singapore cents rose 10.6%/8.3% YoY, beating our expectations and representing 62.5%/111.5% of our FY25e forecast. The outperformance was driven by a 21% YoY decline in FY25 finance costs, stronger operational performance in the commercial segment, as well as a 49.3% YoY increase in joint venture contributions.
- Commercial segment like-for-like (excludes Lippo Plaza Shanghai) revenue and NPI grew 3.9% and 5.4% YoY to S$173mn and S$130mn respectively in FY25. Office portfolio maintained high occupancy at 95.4% with positive rental reversions of 9.1%, indicating flight-to-quality trend for Prime CBD assets. This extended to OUE REIT’s joint venture, with OUE Bayfront earnings surging 49.3% YoY to S$14.5mn in FY25.
- We maintain BUY with a higher DDM-based TP of S$0.45 (prev: S$0.40) as we roll forward our forecast. We believe its current portfolio, following the Lippo Plaza Shanghai divestment, reflects lower risk and warrants a lower cost of equity of 6.3% (prev: 6.8%). At FY26e dividend yield of 6.2%, and a P/NAV of 0.64x, valuation remains compelling. As OUE REIT embarks on its Phase 3 Value Creation Journey, the focus is expected to be on asset recycling to redeploy capital from mature assets into similar risk-adjusted assets with higher yields.
