Centuria Industrial REIT ( (AU:CIP) ) has provided an announcement.
Centuria Industrial REIT reported solid HY26 results, with funds from operations of $57.3 million, like‑for‑like NOI growth of 5.1% and distributions of 8.4 cents per unit, underpinned by a 95.7% occupied portfolio and a 7.1‑year WALE.
Net tangible assets rose to $3.95 per unit after a $75 million valuation gain, while gearing remained moderate at 35.9% and $775 million of debt was refinanced or raised, extending average debt maturity to four years and securing lower margins.
Leasing activity was strong, with around 143,900 square metres of terms agreed, robust re‑leasing spreads averaging 20% and passing rents sitting roughly 20% below market levels, providing visible upside as 60% of leases expiring over the next three years are under‑rented.
CIP advanced its strategic pivot toward data centres via about $60 million of acquisitions and a lodged application to develop a 40MW facility in Victoria, positioning the REIT to benefit from accelerating demand tied to digital transformation and AI while reinforcing its focus on urban infill industrial markets.
The trust also continued portfolio optimisation through targeted divestments at a premium to book value, buy‑backs of its units at a discount to NTA and reaffirmed FY26 earnings and distribution guidance, supporting its income profile and signalling confidence in industrial market fundamentals.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CIP) stock is a Buy with a A$3.78 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Centuria Industrial REIT stock, see the AU:CIP Stock Forecast page.
