FY25 Suntec REIT's DPU surged 13.6% y-o-y to S$7.035c, underpinned by 12.8% y-o-y savings in financing cost, resilient SG performance, and retention of MIT tax status in AU.

SG continues to shine while overseas bottoms out
Suntec REIT's FY25 revenue, NPI and JV income of S$471.6m, S$316.8m and S$103.3m rose 1.7%, 1.9% and 3.7% y-o-y, respectively.
Overseas performance remained a drag, though we saw progressive lease commencements in 4Q25 in AU. JV income growth was driven by lower interest expense (-22.7% y-o-y), and we expect FY26E financing cost to mirror this level.

Prudent capital management
Gearing remained stable at 41.5%. Cost of debt fell 0.35-ppt y-o-y to 3.71% and is guided to drop marginally FY26E as higher-rate S$ swaps gradually roll off. S$150m perps is due for refinancing in FY26E, with new issuance expected at sub-4%.
Portfolio valuation remained stable (+0.7% y-o-y), with SG up 0.9% y-o-y and UK up 0.6% y-o-y, partly offset by a 3.7% y-o-y decline in AU due to further cap rate expansion.
Maintain BUY with higher target price of S$1.56
