Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Capital recycling is expected to enable Link REIT to consolidate around its top assets and dominate key districts. The portfolio effect enables the company to initiate another round of AEIs and reposition its assets, in our view.

Bears

The company exhausted its primary growth driver of higher rents and lower vacancies for its Hong Kong portfolio and is seeking riskier expansion internationally.
