CapitaLand China Trust H1 DPU dips 1.6% to 2.45 cents

Gross revenue slipped 4.4% to $152.3m, whilst NPI fell 2.5% to $103.9m.

CapitaLand China Trust’s (CLCT) distribution per unit (DPU) fell 1.6% to 2.45 cents in the first half of 2026, from 2.49 cents a year earlier.

Gross revenue declined 4.4% to $152.3m, whilst net property income fell 2.5% to $103.9m due to the absence of contributions from CapitaMall Yuhuating following its divestment in October 2025.

On a same-store basis, excluding the contribution from the divested CapitaMall Yuhuating, DPU rose 2.9% from 2.38 cents, the trust said in a bourse filing.

Retail portfolio occupancy increased to 97.3% from 96.9% a year earlier. Retail properties accounted for 70.6% of CLCT’s portfolio gross rental income as at 30 June.

The trust’s average cost of debt declined by 36 basis points to 3.06% per annum from 3.42%, resulting in a 16% year-on-year reduction in interest costs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
