0116 GMT - There was a lot to like in Arena REIT's 1H results, Jefferies says. Its portfolio remains 100% occupied with leases representing less than 1% of income expiring before FY 2032. Analyst Andrew Dodds also highlights asset revaluation gains that drove a 5.2% increase in net tangible assets. "Gearing of 23.2% is likely the lowest across the REIT sector and provides plenty of headroom for additional acquisition and development activity," Jefferies says. Also, hedge cover of 93% provides good visibility over earnings. Jefferies had a buy call and A$3.90/share price target on Arena REIT ahead of the results. Arena REIT is up 0.9% at A$3.53.
