J.P. Morgan does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research
reports. As a result, investors should be aware that
the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this rep
ort as only a single
factor in making their investment decision.
Industrial REITs are our preferred sector within the S-REIT universe. We
believe industrial REITs are in a virtuous cycle, whereby their low cost of
capital enables accretive acquisitions that result in higher share prices and
greater accretion thereafter. We are also positive on their e-commerce and
datacenter exposure, with the sector relatively immune in the midst of the
coronavirus pandemic threat. Top picks: AREIT and MINT.
In a virtuous cycle. With flattish rents across the different sectors, we
believe industrial REITs are best placed to deliver DPU growth via
acquisitions compared to other sectors, as their trading yields are at or
lower than target property cap rates. This was the basis of our initial
bullish thesis on the sector (link). As yields have compressed by 10-
50bps since then, this thesis has been strengthened further. Hence, we
believe industrial REITs are on the cusp of following KDCREIT’s
virtuous cycle, where investors are too fearful to stay on the sidelines.
We anticipate that AREIT/MINT/MLT will replicate KDCREIT’s
experience, with their yields approaching the low- to mid-4% level from
mid-4% to low-5% yields, as implied by our new PTs (6-14% higher, as
we assume a lower cost of capital and/or acquisitions). Index inclusion is
an added kicker for MLT/MINT, as discussed in our report REITifyng
the Singapore index.
Best positioned to ride through pandemic threat. As discussed in our
report Time to bottom fish?, we believe industrial REITs are best placed
to handle the coronavirus threat, as their earnings are more resilient due
to their long WALEs and exposure to e-commerce and datacenters,
structural growth industries. Industrial REITs should also still deliver
DPU growth from announced acquisitions and the impact of the virtuous
cycle.
Time for AREIT to catch up. AREIT has lagged other industrial REITs
due to the impact of the recent rights issue and concerns over the
expansion into the U.S. In our view, the 40-50bps yield differential
between MLT/MINT and AREIT is too wide. Given their smaller size,
MLT and MINT have the potential to deliver faster DPU. However, this
is balanced against AREIT’s larger scale and diversified portfolio, and
AREIT’s historically trading at a 50-60bps tighter yield than MLT and
MINT. With gearing at c.35% post-rights-issue, we expect the lack of
overhang from any equity-raising and positive news flow from
acquisitions as AREIT deploys its c.S$500m debt headroom (gearing
back up to 38-39%) to help close the yield gap. In addition, while select
U.S. markets face supply headwinds and an impact from the reduction in
avg. space per employer, as highlighted in our recent live call on the U.S.
office market (link), we are positive on AREIT’s U.S. exposure, which is
leveraged to growth in the technology and biomedical industries.

Industrial REITs
AREIT – Time to catch up. AREIT shares have lagged the STI and industrial REIT
peers due largely to concerns about potential expansion into the U.S. and
disappointment when the U.S. expansion occurred, funded with a rights issue.
However, with gearing of c.35% post-rights-issue, we believe any overhang from
another equity-raising or negative perception over expansion into a new geography is
no longer present. Combined with expected utilization of c.S$500m debt headroom,
we expect this positive news flow to act a re-rating catalyst for the stock. This should
help close the 40-50bps yield differential between AREIT and MLT/MINT. We
reiterate our OW rating with a higher PT of S$3.65 (previously S$3.45).
MINT – Catching the datacenter wave. The market has reacted positively to
MINT’s expansion into the datacenter market, with its yield compressing by
c.200bps from 6.3% at the start of 2019 to c.4.6% currently, given exposure to the
datacenter/cloud, which is in the midst of structural growth. With MINT now trading
at a 4.6% yield and further acquisitions of datacenters at high 5-6.5% NPI yields,
resulting in robust DPU accretion, we believe MINT is on the cusp of replicating the
success that KDCREIT, a pure-play datacenter REIT, has experienced. KDCREIT
shares have increased more than 50% over the last 1.5 years, as it was in a similar
situation to MINT currently, where its low cost of capital enabled it to make highly
accretive acquisitions, triggering a share price rally and yield compression that made
further acquisitions more accretive. Thus, we maintain our OW rating and raise our
PT to S$3.10 from S$2.80, as we impute a lower cost of capital assumption to
capture our belief that MINT is now in a virtuous cycle.
MLT – A winning combination. We believe MLT has three attractive
characteristics that should result in the continuation of 2019’s 46% rally: (1) being in
virtuous cycle, with its low cost of capital enabling DPU-accretive acquisitions; (2)
potential inclusion in MSCI Singapore; and (3) exposure to the growing e-
commerce/logistics sector. To better reflect our view that MLT’s strong ability to
deliver DPU-accretive acquisitions should trigger a share price re-rating and growing
investor interest in logistics/e-commerce exposure, we incorporate a lower cost of
capital. As a consequence, we lift our PT to S$2.05 from S$1.85. Maintain OW.
KDCREIT – Twin drivers of AEI and acquisitions. KDCREIT continues to build
on its twin growth drivers of AEI and acquisitions, with S$714m of acquisitions
announced in 2H19 and S$144m of upgrades completing in 2020. KDCREIT
continues to offer the brightest growth prospects, in our view, with FY20E/21E DPU
to rise 12%/14%. With KDCREIT leveraging its cost-of-capital advantage, we see
further upside from third-party acquisitions, coupled with organic growth via
upgrades. Maintain OW with a higher PT of S$2.45 (vs. S$2.15 previously), as we
adjust our FY20E/21E DPU by -1.5%/+3.0% on AEIs and a slight delay to
Intellicentre 3, and we also assume a forward S$200m acquisition. Maintain OW.

Rally expected to continue
Industrial REITs were among our two preferred sectors in our assumption of
coverage report (link), given their ability to deliver DPU growth via acquisitions and
exposure to e-commerce and datacenters, industries in structural growth. Our
conversations with investors suggest to us that investors have accepted our rationale
for industrial REITs trading at premium valuations and why historical average yields
and P/B multiples are not as relevant, given the change in asset composition over the
past few years.
Industrial REITs have been the best-performing sector since Oct-19, and we expect
them to continue to trade at a premium, given their exposure to structural growth,
superior ability to complete DPU-accretive acquisitions and changes in portfolio
position. We believe these factors should result in an extension of industrial REITs’
“winning streak” vs. other sectors. We reiterate our OW call on the sector. Our two
preferred picks with the industrial space are AREIT and MINT.

indicator of future performance.
In a virtuous cycle
Yields have continue to compress, making acquisitions even more accretive
Industrial REITs have rallied around 10% on average since Oct-19, with forward
yields compressing 10-50bps. This makes potential acquisitions even more accretive
than they would have been three months ago. Thus, we believe industrial REITs are
now in a virtuous cycle, where DPU-accretive acquisitions result in a share price
rally that makes further acquisitions even more accretive. In addition, with their

superior cost of capital, industrial REITs should increasingly be able to fund more of
their acquisitions with equity, rather than debt. This would provide additional debt
headroom to pursue acquisitions without having to rely solely on equity-raisings. We
anticipate that this may accelerate the pace of acquisitions and provide positive news
flow to sustain the share price rally over 2020.

MLT and MINT on the cusp of replicating KDCREIT’s highly virtuous cycle
The virtuous cycle is best illustrated by KDCREIT over the last few years, as its
yield has compressed from 6.8% at IPO to c.3.8% currently. At this stage, it is in a
strong position to complete DPU-accretive acquisitions by relying solely on equity,
given that acquisition targets have yields of 6% or higher.
With MLT and MINT now trading at 4.5-4.6% yields and in a sweet spot in terms
market cap (S$6-7bn), large enough to attract investor attention, but not too big for
acquisitions to make a material impact on DPU, we anticipate that they will
progressively be in a virtuous cycle similar to KDCREIT’s.
View through the lens of historical valuation range is less relevant now
Consequently, we believe historical yield and P/B multiple ranges, or even implied
NPI/NOI yields, will increasingly be less relevant. Furthermore, we expect investors
to focus on pegging the Singapore industrial REITs to overseas listed peers.
Therefore, investors who are cautious or have neutral ratings on industrial REITs or
who adopt the “expensive valuation” angle are likely to continue to miss the rally, in
our view. We believe investors will find it difficult to turn down an industrial REIT
offering new shares to fund an accretive acquisition, as seen in 2019.

Global M&A a re-rating catalyst
Another factor that makes historical P/B and yield metrics less relevant for industrial
REITs, especially datacenter plays, are the rising valuation multiples due to M&A
transactions. For example, we believe a key driver of the surge in KDCREIT’s share
price (KDCREIT, the top-performing S-REIT YTD, has risen 7.7% vs. S-REITs’
+2.4%) is the recent A$3bn transaction for AirTrunk in Australia (link) at a FY20E
EV/EBITDA multiple of 30x. While this is more reflective of M&A valuations for a
pure-play datacenter company, we believe KDCREIT offers comparative value at
19x EV/EBITDA vs. U.S. peers at 23x.

What can halt the “unstoppable” industrial REITs?
We believe this “unstoppable train” – arising from the virtuous cycle of low-cost
capital that results in DPU-accretive acquisitions that trigger further share price
rallies, translating into better accretion for subsequent acquisitions – will stop when
the REITs’ market capitalizations are too large, making it progressively more
difficult to find a sufficient quantum of acquisitions to drive DPU accretion. This risk
is low to moderate for MINT, MLT and KDCREIT over the next two to three years,
in our view, given their market caps of only $3-7bn.
Another risk that could halt the virtuous circle is the acquisition of portfolios and
buildings that face major problems. Given that the majority of acquisitions made by
industrial REITs are located overseas with long WALEs, we do not foresee any
major vacancy issues, if at all, until three to five years’ time, when more leases come
up for renewal. A significant steepening of the yield curve, which is not our base
case in 2020, is also a risk. Finally, should the coronavirus become a global
pandemic with the knock-on effects of slower global growth, that would likely place
downward pressure on rents and occupancy.
Industrial REITs the most resilient sector in pandemic threat
In Time to bottom fish?, we espoused a strategy of first targeting sectors or REITs
where stock prices have corrected and/or there would be a minimal impact on
earnings if there were a slowdown in tourism or activities over a five- to six-month
period (it took six months for RevPAR to recover during the SARS/H1N1 episodes).
