Lodging trust has a tested playbook of operating in a spread of geographies and asset classes with disciplined capital management
[SINGAPORE] The share price of CapitaLand Ascott Trust (Clas) – the largest lodging trust in the Asia-Pacific by total assets – is undervalued, said Serena Teo, the chief executive officer of the managers of the stapled group.
“Today, we trade at just under 0.8 times to book, and we’re offering a distribution yield of a high 6 per cent,” she said.

The price also reflects 6.9 per cent distribution yield based on the S$0.061 distribution per stapled security (DPS) for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024.
