0213 GMT - Starhill Global REIT's healthy balance sheet likely provides room for acquisitions, says RHB Research's Vijay Natarajan in a note. The Singapore-listed real-estate investment trust's interest costs are expected to inch lower to around 3.5% after issuing new perpetual securities in October, while its gearing--total debt to total assets--remains modest at 35.4%. Its portfolio occupancy is also likely to rise after it signed new major tenants in China and Australia, the analyst says. RHB Research raises its FY 2027-FY 2028 distribution per unit forecasts by 2%-3% after adjusting for foreign exchange and interest-cost assumptions. It increases the target price to S$0.66 from S$0.60 and retains a buy rating. Units are flat at S$0.59. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
