OUE REIT BUY With S$0.40 Target as Salesforce Tower Stake Rises

DBS Group Research maintains a BUY rating on OUE REIT with a 12-month target price of SGD 0.40, citing the acquisition of an additional 50% stake in Salesforce Tower. The REIT's ownership rises to 69.9%, funded by debt and partial proceeds from divesting Crowne Plaza Changi Airport. DBS projects a 3.2% increase in dividend per unit and sees potential capital recycling as a key catalyst.
