Ascendas REIT is Singapore’s first business and industrial real estate investment trust. It’s also the country’s largest trust of its type. Ascendas has been critical to the development of Singapore’s real estate investment trust (REIT) sector, which involves companies that own, operate and finance real estate.
Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust is listed on the Singapore stock exchange under the ticker A17U. It’s also traded on the US Over-The-Counter (OTC) market. The company has a market capitalization of S$12.37bn ($9.35bn) and 60% of its portfolio includes business parks and data centres.
Ascendas REIT (A17U) boasts a strong balance sheet and high earnings growth. The company’s revenue for the financial year that ended on 31 December 2020 exceeded S$1bn and net property income comprised S$776m. According to the company’s Q1 2021 business report, it acquired 11 data centres across five key European cities for S$904.6m in the first three months of this year.
In May 2021, it entered a $150 million green interest rate swap that may bear fruit shortly. Many institutional investors are backing Ascendas REIT, which lends the company credibility.
The A17U share price has been declining over the past year, however. The Ascendas REIT share price hovered at around S$3.10 in mid-June 2020, but by the following June, it was down to around S$2.97. It’s possible that the real estate market will make a strong recovery once the COVID-19 pandemic is over, but it doesn’t seem like Ascendas REIT stock price is attracting much interest for now.
When examining a Singaporean REIT, it’s important to consider the incredible economic strength Singapore is demonstrating right now – it’s economy is growing at its fastest pace for more than a year. Given that A17U has so much invested in business parks, could Singapore’s economic surge cause an imminent rally in Ascendas REIT’s share price? Perhaps the country’s growth means that Ascendas REIT is more undervalued than ever at the moment? Or should you wait until the stock shows some signs of momentum before entering a trade? These are questions you should consider before embarking on an investment.
