Starhill Global Reit should interest you.
DBS is retaining our ‘buy’ call for Starhill Global Reit following updates from management and the Hong Kong non-deal roadshow.
Starhill Global Reit’s unique value proposition lies in its prime retail offering and niche office exposure along the Orchard Road belt. FY11-12 yields of 6.9-7.3 per cent imply attractive 280 basis points spread over the risk-free rate, backed by the top class commercial assets in town and a reputable sponsor.
There is good earnings visibility going forward, led by organic growth potential and proactive asset enhancements. At current valuations of 0.7 times P/B NAV versus its commercial peers’ 0.8-1.3 times, valuations are attractive. At $0.73 target price, the stock offers 23 per cent total return.
BUY
Note I don’t own shares in this Reit yet. Nothing wrong with the numbers (the 6.9% is attractive and sustainable) but in times like this I would prefer its “big brother” to be an international name, not a M’sian cotporate, albeit a respectable name.
