Story Highlights

Alternative Income REIT Lifts NAV, Resets Dividend Amid Higher Debt Costs

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Alternative Income REIT Plc ( (GB:AIRE) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Alternative Income REIT reported a 1.0% rise in net asset value to £68.0 million, or 84.48 pence per share, for the half year to 31 December 2025, supported by a £0.4 million uplift in property valuations amid improving UK real estate conditions. The company owns 19 properties valued at £103.5 million, maintains a long WAULT of over 15 years, and collected 100% of rent due, underscoring the resilience of its predominantly index-linked income stream.

The board reaffirmed guidance for a fully covered annual dividend of at least 5.6 pence per share for the year to June 2026, a reduction from 6.2 pence driven by higher financing costs on new £41 million HSBC facilities. While the lower dividend has trimmed the yield to 7.6% and widened the share price discount to NAV, conservative leverage, strong interest cover and ongoing rent growth from index-linked reviews position the trust to benefit if property markets continue to recover.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AIRE) stock is a Buy with a £89.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Alternative Income REIT Plc stock, see the GB:AIRE Stock Forecast page.
