0249 GMT - Mapletree Logistics Trust's distributions per unit could return to growth in FY 2027, says Jefferies' Wilson Ng in a note. He attributes this to improving rates of rents renewed in its China portfolio and rising quarterly DPU. The Singapore real-estate investment trust trades at around 6.0% forward yield and around 0.9X its price-to-book ratio, which prices in a near-full write-down of its China portfolio. Ng finds this pricing-in excessive, believing the market is extrapolating consecutive years of double-digit DPU decline instead of a projected inflection. He sees scope for the yield to compress as DPU stabilizes and China headwinds ease. Jefferies initiates coverage of Mapletree Logistics with a buy rating and target price of 1.40 Singapore dollars. Units are up 0.85% at S$1.19.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
