Given the fluidity of market conditions, we highlight a number of domestic-focused stocks such as CENT, CD, DFI, HLA, PANU, PROP, RFMD, SSG and SIE as well as Singapore-focused REITS such as CDLHT, FEHT, FCT, KREIT, LREIT and PREIT. In addition, the MAS’ equity market review should inject much needed liquidity in 2H25. We lower our STI target to 3,720 (previously 4,115).
S-REITs have had a negative correlation of 0.59 against the S&P 500 Index. Thus, S-REITs could mean revert and register gains even as the S&P 500 falls over the next six months. Our preferred BUYs are CICT (Target: S$2.37) and LREIT (Target: S$0.72) for suburban retail, DCREIT (Target: US$0.88), KDCREIT (Target: S$2.55) and MINT (Target: S$2.70) for data centres, and PREIT (Target: S$4.85) for healthcare, which are relatively less affected by the impact from tariffs. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
