Local REITs face market headwinds despite resilient fundamentals; weakness may offer buying opportunities
Focus Malaysia reports that MBSB Research remains positive on Malaysian REITs despite recent share-price weakness. The research house favors Sunway REIT, Pavilion REIT and IGB REIT, with Buy ratings and target prices of RM2.39, RM2.00 and RM2.90, respectively.
The article cites retail performance and anticipated rent increases as support for Sunway and Pavilion, while highlighting IGB's mall assets. It also describes interest rates and investor fund flows as sources of volatility: rising bond yields can make REIT distributions less competitive with fixed-income alternatives while increasing financing costs.
