Mapletree Logistics Trust Could Trim China Exposure -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Jan 30

0103 GMT - Mapletree Logistics Trust could trim its exposure to China by selling properties to its sponsor's upcoming logistics-focused fund, says UOB Kay Hian's Jonathan Koh in a note. The Chinese market's drag on Mapletree Logistics' growth in rental rates moderated in 3Q, but the outlook for assets in eastern China remains challenging due to elevated vacancy, says Koh. Chinese consumer spending is also likely to be soft given a weak labor market and more households pivoting away from big-ticket purchases, he adds. Meanwhile, the continued strength of the Singapore dollar could pose further headwinds, weighing on the trust's overseas logistics properties. UOB Kay Hian maintains its hold rating and S$1.38 target price. Units are flat at S$1.37.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
