CapitaLand – Challenges

However, Klang Valley malls faced challenges, with negative growth recorded. CLMT plans to divest struggling malls, though finding buyers may be challenging.

Expectations for FY24E include a 10.8% EPU growth, driven by contributions from Queensbay Mall. Management aims to enhance portfolio with industrial/logistics assets and divest low-yielding ones. Despite challenges, CLMT maintains a hold recommendation with revised earnings forecasts and increased target price.

“We expect +10.8% EPU growth in FY24E, mainly from full-year contribution of QBM. This assumes (1) positive rental reversions of 3%, and (2) stable occupancy rates at Gurney Plaza, QBM and East Coast Mall (at 99%).
Management’s portfolio strategy is to explore yield accretive industrial/logistics assets and look to divest its low-yielding assets as part of its capital recycling effort,” says Maybank.
