Frasers Centrepoint Trust reports rental uptick but not immune from higher costs

An analyst said it keeps its neutral call on the stock.

Despite the resilient mall portfolio, Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT) will still face headwinds such as inflationary pressures and rising interest rates.

RHB said this amidst higher financing costs and lower margins which will offset FCT's higher occupancy rate and rental uptick.

The analyst said the portfolio occupancy went up to 97.5% with its three large dominant malls registering such as Causeway Point, North Point City North Wing, and Waterway Point.

Rent reversion saw a turnaround with 1.5% in fiscal year 2022 on an incoming vs outgoing basis as underlying tenant sales across its malls rose 10% above pre-pandemic levels.

It keeps a neutral call on FCT’s stock, with a lower target price of $2.09 from $2.45.

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.

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.
