Lock Mun Yee has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that position Sasseur Real Estate Investment Trust for growth. The trust reported a stable distribution per unit (DPU) for the first half of 2025, aligning with forecasts, and demonstrated a 3% year-on-year increase in portfolio outlet sales during the second quarter. This growth is supported by a low gearing ratio of 25.8%, which provides the trust with the financial flexibility to pursue inorganic growth opportunities.

The management’s commitment to delivering long-term value through stable and growing distributions, alongside a high portfolio occupancy rate of 98.5%, underscores the trust’s strong operational performance. These factors, combined with the potential for acquisition opportunities and a resilient outlet mall segment, contribute to the positive outlook and Buy rating for Sasseur Real Estate Investment Trust.
