Keppel Earnings Tomorrow: Are REIT Signals Pointing to Growth?

As a global asset manager and operator spanning three key business segments — Infrastructure, Urban Development, and Connectivity$Keppel(BN4.SI)$ is set to announce its earnings tomorrow. Keppel has established a value recycling model through a pipeline of “developing/acquiring assets → injecting into its REITs → recycling capital.”.

The Group has adopted a streamlined horizontal integration model, reporting under four key segments:

What guidance do Keppel’s REITs offer ahead of its parent company’s results?

1. $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$ reported earnings last week and fell 0.98% on the day.

DPU rose 14.2% YoY, NPI increased 24.1%, and total revenue grew 22.6%, driven by the consolidation of Singapore Data Centres 7 & 8 and Tokyo Data Centre 1, along with positive rental reversions from lease renewals.

Notably, per PERE’s latest data, data center funds accounted for 29% of total fundraising in Q1 2025, the highest in five years.

2. $Kep Infra Tr(A7RU.SI)$ dropped 2.41% after releasing results yesterday.

This quarter, KIT showed mixed performance: DPU rose 27.7% YoY, from S$50.9 million to S$65 million.

However, after stripping out one-off items, adjusted distributable income fell 31.9% YoY to S$45.5 million, revealing weakness in core business growth, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.

3. $KEPPEL REIT(K71U.SI)$ rose 1.81% after its earnings announcement today.

The quarter reflected solid asset operations, with growth in NPI (net property income) and contributions from associate assets helping offset increased borrowing costs and management fee adjustments.

NPI rose 13.3% YoY, from S$48.2 million to S$54.6 million.

    I definitely prefer Keppel dc reit although it is more focused on data centres. In the longer term, I believe the need for data centres will grow with increased focus on data, AI and technology for all things. Yet, land is limited in Singapore and I don’t think we will see many more data centres being built. Limited supply with increased demand is good for Keppel DC. Till that day comes, I will be happy collecting dividends which beats any fixed deposit[Miser]

    I m bullish on $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$ as I am holding xxxxx units. [LOL][Happy] Incidently, I love Data Centres so much that I m also holding xxxxx units of $Mapletree Ind Tr(ME8U.SI)$. MIT units more than KDC. [Silence]🫣🤭🤫


    Anyway, today my hand is very itchy that I bought $UOB(U11.SI)$. 🤭. I m still working towards my 2025 KPI - SG dividends $36K. Taking last year dividends payout as an estimation, I have achieved $36K if I will to combine dividends from stocks using SRS. If excludes SRS, I yet to achieve my KPI target. Anyway, I still have 8months to achieve it and the gap between $UOB(U11.SI)$ units vs $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$ units is getting wider. 😓🙄😬 I need to stop my itchy hand on UOB and direct attention to OCBC or other SG stocks. [Bless][Sweats][Helpless]😓🫣

    🌟🌟🌟Keppel versus Keppel DC Reit - which is a Better Investment?  The answer is dependent on each individual's investment objectives, risk tolerance.

    It is also a matter of deciding whether I want growth or yield.

    I am currently invested in Keppel DC Reit and love to receive its nice, juicy dividends.  The current dividend yield is 4.4%.

    As I hold $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ of which Keppel is one of the Top 10 holdings, I am also indirectly invested in Keppel too.

    Both Keppel and Keppel DC Reit are great investments in the Singapore context.

    Go Long Go Strong Go Keppel and Keppel DC Reit. 🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

    I’m leaning toward $Keppel(BN4.SI)$ over its REITs due to its broader exposure and value recycling strategy. Its push into green energy and data centers aligns with long-term growth trends. Keppel DC REIT’s strong results, driven by data infrastructure demand, signal the parent’s asset pipeline remains healthy and well-positioned.

    That said, $KEPPEL REIT(K71U.SI)$ showed solid resilience with NPI growth, while KIT’s results were more mixed. Despite headline DPU growth, KIT’s adjusted distributable income fell, revealing weaker core performance, which makes its income stream less predictable in the current climate.

    With Keppel’s 7-day rally, I think market optimism is justified. If earnings confirm growth in strategic areas like data centers and infrastructure, the rally could continue. I’ll be watching for signs that Keppel’s integration model and asset recycling are translating into sustained earnings momentum.

  • SG stocks are generally ridiculously slow, other than the banks. REITS are one of the worse. Too slow for my liking unless you trade by the volume. If not it's too lame and slow. @JiaDeName

    如果只能二选一,我更倾向于持有吉宝企业(Keppel Corp,BN4.SI),理由很简单:我更看重长期成长性,而不是单纯的防御属性。


    吉宝过去这两年彻底从“传统海事工程商”转型为绿色能源、数据中心、资产管理三大核心引擎的科技型企业,资产更轻,利润更高,而且政策风口实在太配合。你看它近来跟中东主权基金在绿色氢能方面的合作,或是Keppel DC REIT对接的数据基础设施布局,都不是短期博弈,而是十年路线图。


    相比之下,**吉宝房地产信托基金(Keppel REIT)**虽然分红稳,抗跌,但增长空间受限,靠的是稳定出租和租金上调,对我这种追求复利增长的投资者来说吸引力稍弱。


    至于$吉宝(BN4.SI)$能否维持7天连涨?我觉得有回调的可能,但趋势未破。若调整后不跌破6.50新元,是我会考虑加仓的位置。


    总结:要稳选REIT,要成长选Keppel Corp。我选后者,愿为未来押注。
