Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT SP)

Green Shoots In Hong Kong And Japan

 

Highlights

• Festival Walk recorded the second consecutive quarter of healthy tenant sales growth at 4% yoy with sustained spending on luxury goods in 1QFY27. We expect the negative reversions to gradually moderate due to healthy retail sales boosted by positive wealth effect.

• Strong demand within central Tokyo has spilled over to the Makuhari submarket. MPACT has initiated discussions with several potential new tenants, including a potential replacement tenant for the entire FMB

.• Singapore remains MPACT's core earnings anchor and contributed 68% of portfolio NPI in 1QFY27. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$1.71.

Renewable Energy

It Is Hot, It Is Hazy, It Is Expensive, And So, Solar Gets A Boost

 

Highlights

• The government introduced the CRESS Acceleration Package with a lower SAC of 14 sen/kWh for firm output. This exceeded our earlier expectation of 15 sen/kwh. More importantly, this CRESS Acceleration Package mandates a 10-year PPA with COD no later than 31 Dec 28

 • To meet the timeline, we expect a slew of positive CRESS announcements in the next three months. This represents a positive catalyst for Solarvest, Pekat and Northern Solar, which underpins strong earnings visibility given the doubling of the orderbook and layering of the low-margin EPCC business with higher-margin asset ownership.

• Maintain OVERWEIGHT. Our sector top picks are Solarvest, Pekat Group and Northern Solar.

Reset begins, but the heavy lifting remains

 

  • Suntec REIT plans to divest three Australian assets, broadly in line with management’s earlier guidance and our expectations
  • Based on our estimates, the divestments could lower gearing by c.6%, taking gearing comfortably below 40% and providing some debt headroom
  • We view the exercise positively, but the scope is narrower than we would have preferred; may require a larger transaction to meaningfully lower gearing and provide headroom to move the REIT back into “growth phase”

 

We currently have a BUY recommendation with a TP of SGD1.70

SASSEUR REIT

Healthy traffic ahead of anniversary sales

 

• We visited the outlet malls in Chongqing Liangjiang and Chongqing Bishan before SASSR’s Anniversary Sales. Both Chongqing outlets continued to deliver steady sales growth for 2Q26 (Liangjiang +3.7% YoY, Bishan +3.5% YoY). 1H26 Portfolio Sales reached record 1H high since listing (+7.4%YoY).

Food Empire Holdings Ltd

Russia takes control of Nestle's assets

 

■ Russia has placed the assets of Nestle under temporary administration, a move that could eventually lead to transfer of control to Russian companies.

■ Food Empire (FEH) derived 32.7% and 33.3% of sales and net profit, respectively, from Russia in 1H26.

■ We expect a negative share price reaction but note potential for FEH to increase its market share in Russia if Nestle's operations are disrupted.

■ FEH could face a similar but lower risk of being put under temporary administration as Singapore continues to keep diplomacy with Russia open.
