How will Ascendas Reit mitigate rising interest rates? analyst explains

Its metrics are in the right direction and will outpace rising costs.

The Ascendas Reit has recently acquired two properties, which will boost its resilience and will help it outpace cost challenges, said analyst, RHB.

In a brokerage report, RHB was referring to Ascendas’ acquisitions of Philips APAC Centre and cold storage facility in 1 Buroh Lane.

“Overall [Ascendas] metrics are trending in the right direction, with higher occupancy and double-digit rental rate reversions (recorded in 2Q) – this is expected to continue in the second half and outpace cost pressures,” said RHB.

RHB even maintained that Ascendas Reit is its top stock for the property sector.

“The impact of rising interest rates on borrowing cost is manageable, at 2% down for every 100 basis points increase,” the analyst added.

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.
