0217 GMT - Lendlease Global Commercial REIT is likely to pursue asset recycling to lower gearing, according to its new CEO, UOB Kay Hian's Jonathan Koh says in a research report. Management could consider divesting the JEM office in Singapore, which is fully leased to the Ministry of National Development, the analyst says. A sale of this property would reduce the REIT's aggregate leverage by an estimated 1.3 percentage points to 43.4%. However, the brokerage trims its FY 2026 distribution-per-unit forecast for the REIT by 2.6% due to "stubborn" vacancy for Building 3 at Sky Complex in Milan. It lowers the unit's target price to S$0.76 from S$0.80 with an unchanged buy rating. Units are unchanged at S$0.525. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
