(SUNREIT opening stock price today (25.4.2012) was RM 1.25)

CIMB Equities Research initiates coverage on Sunway REIT with an Outperform call and a DDM-based target price of RM1.41,using a 2% terminal growth rate and an 8.2% cost-of-equity assumption.

“Our target price implies a total return of 18% against implied upside of 1.8% to our end-2012 KLCI target of 1,610 and 5% market yield,” it said on Wednesday.

CIMB Research said Sunway REIT's existing portfolio of 11 assets and stable occupancies should ensure steady dividend yields.

“With a ready pipeline of acquisitions (ROFR for seven assets valued at RM3bil), it is well-poised for growth. Potential rerating catalysts are 1) yield-accretive acquisitions, 2) upward rent reversions, with 63% of Sunway Pyramid's NLA due for renewal next year, 3) further asset enhancement initiatives, and 4) higher-than-expected rentals from Sunway Putra Place after its refurbishment,” it said.
