    A QUICK glance of headlines surrounding the latest quarterly business updates of Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) for the period ended March would likely imbue investors with much confidence.

    An overwhelming majority of S-Reits posted improvements in key metrics from distributable income (DI), distribution per unit (DPU), net property income (NPI) and occupancy rates to rental reversion or revenue per available room (RevPAR).

    On the back of such rosy data, it may be tempting to declare that the sector has left the residual sting of the Covid-19 pandemic behind.
