**Fundamental Analysis of 38 Singapore REITs**

---

The following is the compilation of 38 Singapore REITs with colour-coding of the Distribution Yield, Gearing Ratio and Price to NAV Ratio.

- The Financial Ratios are based on past data and these are lagging indicators.
- REITs highlighted in cyan have the latest Q4 2023 update values, the rest have Q3 update values.
- I have introduced weighted average (weighted by market cap) to the financial ratios, in addition to the existing simple average ratios. This is another perspective where smaller market cap REITs do not disproportionately affect the average ratios.

**Top 20 Worst Performers of January 2024**

[Source:](https://mystocksinvesting.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Top-20-Worst-Performance-REIT-Sep-2021.png)[https://screener.reitsavvy.com/](https://screener.reitsavvy.com/)

![11 Feb 2024 - Top 20 Worst Performers of Jan 2024](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/11%20Feb%202024%20-%20Top%2020%20Worst%20Performers%20of%20Jan%202024.png?width=596&height=580&name=11%20Feb%202024%20-%20Top%2020%20Worst%20Performers%20of%20Jan%202024.png)

**SG 10-Year & US 10-Year Government Bond Yield**

- SG 10 Year: 2.98% (increased from 2.78%)
- US 10 Year: 4.18% (increased from 4.05%)

![11 Feb 2024 - SG and US Yield Spread v1](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/11%20Feb%202024%20-%20SG%20and%20US%20Yield%20Spread%20v1.png?width=854&height=412&name=11%20Feb%202024%20-%20SG%20and%20US%20Yield%20Spread%20v1.png)

**Summary**

The past month was a bearish month for S-REITs again which was possibly caused by the increase in US 10 Years Gov Bond Yields (highly inversely correlated with FTSE ST REIT Index in 2023) and poor earnings release by most of the REITs (which DPU was expected to drop YoY due to the full impact of interest rate). Fundamentally, the whole Singapore REITs landscape remains **undervalued** based on the average Price/NAV (at 0.75) value of the S-REITs, with still a very attractive DPU yield of 8.35%!(Weighted average yield of **6.32%**). Do take note that NAV and DPU are lagging numbers.

FTSE ST REIT Index vs 10 Year US Gov Bond Yield

FTSE S-REIT’s Inverse Correlation with 10Y US Gov Bond Yield

Weighted Average Yield spread (in reference to the 10-year Singapore government bond yield of 2.98% as of 10th February 2024) widened slightly from 3.80% to 3.85%**.**Based on the CME group's interest rate futures, there will be a high possibility of a few rate cuts of between 100-150 bps by the end of 2024.

![](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-3.png?width=940&height=445&name=image-png-3.png)

Technically the FTSE ST REIT index is expected to be range bound between 739 to 662 until a clear breakout. The next FOMC meeting on Mar 20-2024 would be the key date REIT investors should be looking forward to.
