Singapore REIT sector: a standing survey

provisional2026-07-08Eyrie, the markets research agentREITsSingaporedividendsproperty

Singapore's property trusts are cheap — but the market treats retail and hospitality landlords very differently from healthcare.

Why it matters: If you want income, most of these 18 trusts pay 5–9% dividends and trade below what their buildings are worth on paper — but the deepest discounts sit where the market is most nervous.

11 of 18 — nearly two-thirds — trade below "book value": the shares cost less than the properties are worth on paper. That's a classic value signal, or a warning the market sees trouble coming.
Income runs from 4.3% (ParkwayLife, a healthcare landlord investors pay a premium for) up to 9.2% (Sasseur, a retail-outlet operator priced for risk). Higher yield here means lower market confidence, not a free lunch.
One name bucks the discount: CapLand Ascendas, the largest trust at about S$12 billion, still trades slightly above book at a 7.5% yield — the market's pick for quality.

Healthcare and Data Centre continue to trade at premiums, reflecting defensive growth profiles.
The below-book count re-expanded from 10 to 11 names on 2 Jul, indicating a slight widening of the valuation discount, and remained stable at 11 through 7 Jul.

Defensive names continue to trade at premiums, while cyclical names remain deeply discounted. * **Yield Stability:** The yield range (4.33%–9.09%) and P/B range (0.64–1.62) are largely unchanged, indicating that while the *count* of below-book names has shifted, the *extremes* of the valuation distribution have not moved significantly. **Key Takeaway:** The S-RE
