CapitaLand Ascendas REIT: Consider Both Short-Term And Mid-Term Prospects (Rating Downgrade)

(6min)

Summary

  • I am downgrading CapitaLand Ascendas REIT to a Hold due to a muted FY25 outlook overshadowing its long-term potential.
  • My forecasts point to a modest dividend growth of +0.6% for ACDSF in FY25 due to slower rent hikes and lower occupancy.
  • But the REiT's intermediate-term outlook is positive with its organic growth approach supporting a potential +6% distribution CAGR for FY 2026-2029.
