Brokers’ take: DBS upgrades OUE C-Reit to ‘buy’ after recovery beats expectations DBS Bank Group Research today upgraded OUE Commercial REIT to “buy” from “hold”. Its target price of S$0.35 remained unchanged. The upgrade came after the REIT posted a 29.8 per cent increase in net property income (NPI) for the third quarter ended Sep 30. Revenue was up 27.5 per cent, following overall improvements to OUE C-Reit’s portfolio –especially when it came to hospitality – as Singapore’s tourism industry recovers post-pandemic.

Commercial real estate weathered a turbulent year against a challenging economic backdrop with the rising cost of debt and increase in interest rates prompting investors to exercise caution. Nevertheless, the continued value placed on travel and experiences led to increased hotel occupancy, attracting the attention of investors looking for a safe hedge against inflation. In 2023, transactional volumes for UK hotels reached £2.8 billion, down on the five-year average of (£3.24 billion), but this still represents significant investment. Notably many transactions took place in Q4, indicative of improving investor sentiment and painting a positive outlook for the year ahead. Based on our current pipeline, we forecast £4 billion worth of UK hotel transactions over the next twelve months, pursuing the following trends:

🚫 I appreciate your instructions. Here's the localized social media post for LinkedIn: --- 🔍 "Heathrow braced for £900m business rates bill - The Times" Heathrow Airport is preparing for a staggering business rates bill of £900m, according to The Times report. The aviation industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, and this adds to the challenges faced by major airports. The substantial rates bill presents a significant hurdle for Heathrow, highlighting the financial strain faced in the midst of uncertain times. This development underscores the complex landscape in which airports and businesses are operating. It's crucial for the industry and government to work collaboratively to address the financial burden on airports and find sustainable solutions to support their recovery.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the U.S. hospitality industry, one challenge persistently stands tall - securing financing. Despite the sector's resilience and its vital contribution to the economy, hotels across the country find themselves in a strenuous battle when it comes to accessing the necessary funds to fuel growth, innovation, and expansion. The tight grip of conventional lending criteria, coupled with the industry's perceived volatility, often leaves many ambitious projects on the drawing board. This is not just about the numbers; it's about dreams unfulfilled, potential untapped, and opportunities missed. Yet, in the heart of these trials, lies the silver lining of innovation and alternative financing solutions. This is why I am excited to announce Mews’ Flexible Financing program for US customers, after making this available for our European customers too. We’ve collaborated with YouLend, who enable customers to potentially receive up to 1 million in capital.

Would you be more likely to come in to town on a Friday if it was cheaper? This is a really interesting policy move that I'm excited to see the results of it. In the demand and revenue forecasting space that I work in, we've been talking about post-pandemic recovery (and our response to it) for years now: have we made any distinct changes to the supply side of transport to meet the changes in profiles of demand? This could be a saving of up to £3.60 a day (about 30%) if you're coming in from Zone 5/6 at peak times. I've been known to be a bit of a critic of fares freezes, in that it benefits people who have the privilege to travel on pay-as-you-go fares, but not those who travel more frequently than others and buy seasons tickets (which have never seen a fares freeze and have always risen, mainly driven by the rail sector). This policy move is different with its targeted nature for the wider economy of the Friday, and could help boost local businesses and our arts, entertainment and cultural sector, while helping people with ongoing affordability concerns in a cost of living crisis. While this is proposed to be a trial at first, I'm keen to see more day-of-week changes in the transport sector (beyond the historic 'weekday' vs 'Saturday' and 'Sunday' splits) - what about Mondays? Can we do more there? Could we offer Railcard discounts at those times too? Would love to hear your thoughts below! ⬇ #TransportPlanning #FaresAndTicketing #PublicTransport Transport for London #TransportForLondon #TfL #CostOfLiving #AffordableTravel #Inclusion #WeAreArup Arup
