On April 4, Jin10 reported that Huatai Securities released a research report highlighting the latest annual reports and evaluation findings for public REITs in 2025. According to Jin10, the report indicates a divergence in valuation and operational performance across various REIT sectors. Valuations for highway, energy, environmental protection, industrial park, and warehousing logistics REITs have mostly been revised downward, while rental housing valuations have seen a slight increase. Consumer and data center valuations have shown mixed results.
The report emphasizes focusing on projects with strong operational capabilities and stable valuations, such as consumer sectors, government-allocated rental housing, data centers, and industrial facilities. It advises caution regarding market-driven projects with optimistic valuation growth but underwhelming performance.
Following the disclosure of annual reports, a period of frequent REIT dividend announcements is anticipated, suggesting potential early investment opportunities in REIT projects that have yet to distribute dividends. The recent continuous correction in the secondary market may present short-term trading opportunities for projects with stable valuations and high distribution rates across various sectors.
