Brokers' take
Sasseur Reit | Buy Target price: S$0.97 Feb 20 close: S$0.77 DBS Equity Research, Feb 20
We remain bullish on Sasseur Reit's prospects given its exposure to the fast-growing Chinese outlet mall industry, which is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 24 per cent from 2016-2021 via its initial portfolio of four outlet malls located in Chongqing, Bishan, Hefei and Kunming. At current level, Sasseur Reit offers an attractive forward FY19 yield of 9.4 per cent, which is among the highest in the S-Reit sector.
Sasseur Reit's share price is trading below its IPO price of S$0.80, which we believe is partially attributed to the lack of familiarity with its business model. We believe concerns over a depreciating renminbi is overstated due to the rapidly growing tenant sales at its properties which grew by 29 per cent y-o-y in 2018, beating its IPO and our distribution per unit (DPU) projections.
