0753 GMT - The distribution-per-unit of Singapore small-to-mid-cap real-estate investment trusts could accelerate in 2H, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. They cite factors such as a smaller base and more pronounced benefits from declining financing costs, noting Singapore's broadly lower interest-rate benchmark. They expect small-to-mid-cap REIT DPUs to accelerate around 4% sequentially in 2H, compared with a roughly 1% growth estimate for large caps. The overall sector's DPU is likely to grow at around 3% on average on year in 2026, they add. DBS's REIT segment pecking order is office, industrial, retail and hospitality. The bank's preferred names include Centurion Accommodation REIT and NTT DC REIT.
