0244 GMT - Keppel REIT's unit-price upside appears limited, as it trading closer to fair value, RHB Research's Vijay Natarajan says as he downgrades the REIT to neutral from buy with an unchanged target price of S$1.05. Also, the REIT's latest acquisition of a shopping centre in Sydney looks neutral to RHB. Although the acquisition price seems fair, the addition of a new retail asset class in the Australian market dilutes the REIT's overall investor appeal as a prime office landlord, the analyst says in a note. Following the acquisition, the REIT's fund-raising gearing is expected to be slightly lower but still relatively high at 41.6% versus 41.7% as at end-June. Units are 1.9% lower at S$1.01.
