UPDC REIT sheds 17.3 percent despite 56.5 percent H1 earnings growth
Tribune Online reports that UPDC REIT’s units fell 17.26% in the week ended October 23, 2026, closing at 17.50 Nigerian naira. The decline followed an earlier rally, despite stronger unaudited first-half results: earnings rose about 56.5% to 1.72 billion naira, supported by rental income of approximately 1.58 billion naira.
The article compares the October market price with June 30 net asset value of approximately 13.61 naira per unit, implying a roughly 28.6% premium. That comparison uses a historical accounting measure, rather than a current liquidation valuation. It highlights the difference between the trust’s reported operating performance and the price investors were paying for its units.
