Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT SP) 4QFY25: Risk From Protracted Trade War
Management cautioned that a protracted trade war could affect demand for warehouse space, thereby reducing occupancy and rental rates. China incurred a negative rental reversion of -9.4% in 4QFY25 and the weakness could potentially persist for the next four quarters. The pace of divestment is expected to slow down, as potential buyers turn more cautious. MLT has corrected 8.7% ytd and provides FY26 distribution yield of 6.8% (FLT: 7.3%). Maintain HOLD. Target price: S$1.31.

We initiate a BUY recommendation on Geo Energy Resources with a TP of S$0.60, based on DCF (WACC: 12.5%). Major tailwinds for the company include 1) expected increase in 2025 coal sales, 2) addition of coal reserves, 3) strategic infrastructure investment for long-term growth, and 4) attractive valuations with dividend returns. Our FY25F net profit estimate of US$63.0 mln (+68% yoy) results from Geo’s ability to improve production efficiency after incurring costs to strip out unwanted surface debris the previous year. Geo trades at just 5.9x forward P/E and 0.8x P/B with a FY25F/FY26F dividend yield of 5.1%/7.4% respectively, rendering the company an attractive stock to dive into at current levels. |
