Expect knee-jerk reaction to Suntec REIT''s planned placement of up to 320 million new units, as 3.5%-6.0% discount to S$1.43 last traded price may spur some selling; REIT selling units at S$1.34-S$1.38, raising up to S$428.8 million to part finance acquisition of one-third stake in MBFC Towers 1, 2, Marina Bay Link Mall, 695 parking spaces.
No details on management''s expectation for DPU accretion, but increased exposure to grade-A office space in upcoming Marina Bay widely seen as positive, with office currently hottest among Singapore property segments.
Deutsche Bank, which has Buy rating, S$1.65 target, estimates slight 2.8%-3.5% (0.25-0.31 cents) accretion to FY11 DPU from buy; when buy announced in October said "operationally, while retail continues to be relatively weak, demand trends for office are positive."
No details on when trade to resume; units likely to hold above issue price range.
