Keppel REIT - Asset Recycling At Top Speed

KEPPEL REIT (SGX:K71U)

Keppel REIT announced the acquisition of Blue & William, a freehold Grade A office building under development located in North Sydney, Australia for A$327.7m (S$322.2m). The acquisition will be fully debt-funded.
The acquisition will increase Keppel REIT's Australia portfolio to 19.5% from 16.4% by AUM and 32.6% by NLA.
We view the acquisition as a positive addition to Keppel REIT’s portfolio, delivering ~3% accretion upon completion and good portfolio metrics that would ensure earnings visibility in the medium term.
In addition, pro forma gearing at slightly below 40% still has debt headroom for future acquisitions.
Keppel REIT offers a 5.2% FY22F yield.
