On 2 February 2023, CapitaLand Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (“CLAR”) have announced their full year result for FY2022. Despite the unfavorable environment for REITs with the high interest rates and looming recession, CLAR has posted a strong and stable financial performance this year, and have declared a distribution to be paid out in March 2023.
Similar to other REITs with strong financial positions, CLAR is currently trading at a premium to its book value. Assuming nothing significant happens, I am expecting dividend yield to be around 5.68% for the calendar year 2023. In view that long-term interest rates are showing signs of falling, this is favorable and may provide resilience against the share price falling significantly despite its premium.
