CapitaLand Ascott Trust cushions renovation drag with stable 1Q 2026 payouts

Ascott Residence ( (SG:HMN) ) has issued an announcement.

CapitaLand Ascott Trust reported relatively stable distribution income for the first quarter of 2026, as divestment gains and interest savings helped offset weaker gross profit caused by asset enhancement works and property closures. Portfolio revenue per available unit dipped to S$137 with 77% occupancy, but underlying same-store RevPAU rose 1% year-on-year excluding the impact of renovations, acquisitions and divestments.

The trust is investing in renovations and asset enhancement initiatives at properties in key markets such as London, Hamburg, New York and Paris, temporarily weighing on earnings but aimed at driving future growth and improving asset quality. Markets like Australia and France showed resilient performance, supported by domestic demand, events and long-stay bookings, while management expects further interest savings from debt repayment using divestment proceeds to mitigate income drag from ongoing works.

The most recent analyst rating on (SG:HMN) stock is a Buy with a S$1.42 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ascott Residence stock, see the SG:HMN Stock Forecast page.
