Japan Metropolitan Fund Lifts August 2026 Distribution Outlook on Profitable Asset Disposition

An announcement from Japan Retail Investment ( (JP:8953) ) is now available.

Japan Metropolitan Fund Investment Corporation has revised upward its forecast for the August 2026 fiscal period distribution per unit (DPU) to 2,950 yen, driven by plans to return the entire estimated gain on the sale of a property to investors. The REIT will dispose of the office property JMF-Bldg. Edogawabashi 01, an asset previously carrying unrealized losses, at a planned sale price of 4.55 billion yen, above both its book value of 3.81 billion yen and appraisal value of 3.5 billion yen, generating an estimated gain on sale of 580 million yen, or about 80 yen per unit. This transaction is expected to boost NAV by crystallizing gains on an underperforming asset, while the sale proceeds will be redeployed into investment units of private REITs and other assets with stronger profitability and growth potential, supporting the company’s strategy of improving earnings power and distribution stability over time.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8953) stock is a Hold with a Yen113000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Japan Retail Investment stock, see the JP:8953 Stock Forecast page.
