- Limited financials were provided in this business update. 3Q26 gross profit remained relatively stable YoY, excluding The Cavendish London (TCL). Income contributions from new acquisitions were offset by TCL’s closure for renovations, as well as income disruption from ongoing AEIs and divestments. Excluding acquisitions, divestments and TCL, same-store operating performance improved 4% YoY.
- 3Q26 portfolio RevPAU rose 1% YoY to S$164, with average occupancy improving by 1 ppt YoY to 84%. Excluding TCL, acquisitions and divestments, same-store RevPAU grew 4% YoY, led by Japan (+11%) and the USA (+12%).
- Maintain BUY with a lower DDM-based TP of S$1.04 (prev. S$1.08), reflecting a 25bps increase in our cost of equity to account for the higher interest rate environment, with no changes to our forecasts. We continue to expect low single-digit portfolio RevPAU growth in FY26e, driven primarily by higher occupancy as forward bookings remain generally resilient. In the longer term, core DPU growth should be supported by completed AEIs and redevelopments, including the planned opening of Somerset Liang Court Singapore in early 2027 and completion of the AEI at TCL by end-2027. In the meantime, management will use previously retained distributions or divestment gains to top up DI and mitigate the impact of TCL's AEI disruption in FY27e. The current share price implies an attractive FY26e dividend yield of 7.4%.
