Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT SP) Anchored In Singapore; Deleveraging For Growth In Asia Pacific
MPACT’s Singapore portfolio remains resilient with VivoCity benefitting as the gateway to Sentosa and MBC benefitting from its proximity to the CBD. It has stepped up leasing efforts to backfill vacant space in Chiba, Japan. MPACT has de-risked its balance sheet by deleveraging through the divestment of Mapletree Anson. MPACT trades at FY25 distribution yield of 6.8% and P/NAV of 0.70x, which we deem attractive for a blue chip S-REIT. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$1.68

Maintain OVERWEIGHT. Top picks: Lagenda, IOIPG and Mah Sing.

Netlink’s market cap stands at S$3.2bln and currently trades at 1.3x PB, with a dividend yield of 6.5%. With 78.4% borrowings at fixed rates, Net Debt/EBITDA is 2x. Consensus target price stands at S$0.96, representing 16% upside from current share price. Despite operating in a now higher interest rate environment, Netlink Trust has managed to continuously pay higher DPU, which is partly attributed to their strong, defensive business and high fixed debt rates. We thus continue to maintain an ACCUMULATE rating on Netlink Trust for investors seeking for a defensive yield play

Malaysia Technology Thematic: The future of the global semiconductor industry
Differing prospects for semicon front vs. back-end MIBG collaborated with Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) on 14 June for an update on the future of the global semiconductor industry.

We maintain NEUTRAL on Malaysia semicon sector but have selective BUYs on front-end auxiliary players SAM Engineering and Frontken.
