China Merchants Commercial REIT IPO - Yield will fall short once the commitment is over

China Merchants Commercial REIT (CMCREIT) plans to raise up to US$383m in its Hong Kong IPO. The REIT will own five mature office and retail assets located in Shenzhen.

In my previous note, China Merchants Commercial REIT Pre-IPO - Not a Very Steady past Performance, I looked at the past performance of the company and analysed its asset portfolio. In this note, I talk about the updates since my previous note, deal dynamics, what the forecast implies and run the deal through our ECM framework.

CMCREIT’s sponsor has provided a minimum DPU commitment all the way till FY22. However, our back of the envelope calculation seems to suggest that CMCREIT’s DPU is likely to fall short of the sponsor’s commitment level for FY22. Furthermore, by FY22 it might not even reach the FY19 commitment level.
