New CEO will pursue asset recycling to reduce LREIT’s gearing. Management could consider divesting the Jem Office, which provides a paltry NPI yield of 4%. Rent review for lease with MND was completed with a rental uplift of 13%. We expect the Jem Office divestment to have a neutral impact on FY27 DPU. Aggregate leverage would drop 1.3ppt to 43.4% and ICR would improve from 1.57x to 1.76x. LREIT provides an FY26 distribution yield of 7%. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$0.76.
