Spear REIT grows half-year distributable income by 8% to 47 cents
Spear REIT reported 47.29 South African cents in distributable income per share for the six months ending August 31, 2026, an 8.02% increase, according to The National. The Western Cape property investor completed roughly R1.4 billion of acquisitions during the period, expanding its holdings to 44 properties valued at about R8.8 billion.
Industrial properties account for approximately 63% of the portfolio’s lettable area. Management described demand for these assets as supportive, while identifying municipal charges, electricity costs and interest rates as continuing pressures. It expects recent acquisitions and ongoing rental demand to support the second half; those expectations remain forward-looking.
