Published:
Keppel REIT (SGX:K71U) | SGinvestors.io
  • Keppel REIT (SGX:K71U) delivered resilient results for 1Q26, underpinned by continued strength across its core markets. Distributable income increased 17.8% to S$62.9m, which is slightly below our expectation.

Growth from retail expansion and joint ventures.

  • - Read this at SGinvestors.io -
  • Income from joint ventures grew 37.6% y-o-y to S$41.7m due to the acquisition of an additional one-third stake in MBFC Tower 3 (completion: 31 Dec 25) and higher rents from Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) and One Raffles Quay (ORQ) and lower borrowing costs.

Robust rental reversion of 17.2%

  • Keppel REIT achieved a robust rental reversion of 17.2% for leases renewed during the quarter (Singapore: 10% and Australia: >50%), reflecting sustained tenant demand and continued flight to quality. Leasing momentum was driven largely by banking, insurance and financial services tenants, which accounted for nearly three quarters of new and expansion demand.
