[ET Net News Agency, 22 October 2019] DBS Group cut its target price for Sunlight REIT
(00435) to HK$5.9 from HK$6.05 and maintained its "buy" rating.
The research house said Sunlight offers distribution yields of 5.2-5.3% for FY2020-21.
DBS said its forecast revenue and distribution income are slightly lower than market
estimates partly because it has factored in a minor impact on rental on Sheung Shui Centre
Shopping Arcade from the prolonged protests.
DBS noted that the overall portfolio occupancy inched up to 95.9% in September from
June's 95.3%, led by improved occupancy at Strand 50 as a result of the partial hand-over
of the new co-working space. It added that improving occupancy and solid reversionary
growth should sustain Sunlight's revenue growth in the years ahead. (KL)
