Mapletree Logistics Trust’s fiscal 2024 (ending March) results aligned with our expectations. The trust’s full-year distribution per unit was down 0.1% year on year as higher contributions from existing properties and acquired properties were offset by currency headwinds, weakness in its China-based operations, and a higher borrowing cost.
MLT has a strong sponsor with a large pipeline of logistics assets for acquisition.
Landlords of logistics properties have low pricing power, given the limited barriers to entry in constructing such properties.
