https://www.theedgesingapore.com/capital/brokers-calls/ocbcs-lim-raises-her-fair-value-boustead-singapore-245 This is behind paywall and can' t read the whole article but in summary, fair value raised to $2.45. Very close to my estimate. The said analyst has previously mentioned $2 as fair value in July 2025. https://boustead.sg/sites/boustead.sg/files/2026-01/2025-07-18_OCBC%27s-Lim-raises-fair-value-for-Boustead-Singapore-again-to-%242_The-Edge-Singapore-Digital.pdf |

From the latest announcement this morning, it is clear that Boustead would not distribute any UIB reit shares to existing Boustead holders. Instead, Boustead will become a controller shareholder that hold about 16.9% stake in UIB reit. In addition, Boustead' s director Mr Chong Lit Cheng will also chair the reit management. Boustead also has a share in the reit manager so in a nutshell, Boustead' s role in the UIB is significant. In connection to the proposed UIB reit IPO, Boustead will receive about $218.7m and that resulted in a net gain of about $154.4m after IPO related cost as the relevant properties only carried in its book at 52m [pg 4 and 5 of announcement refers]. However, there will be no special dividend as Boustead will use the proceed to subscribe its 16.9% stake in the UIB and remaining for working capital. In a way, Boustead has unlocked $166m from this reit IPO but bulk of it was used to fund its 16.9% stake in the UIB reit. I view this as positive, as the valuation of the properties under UIB is expected to be higher when compare to be under Boustead. With controlling stake in both the reit itself as well as its manager and sponsor, Boustead has elevated itself to become a real estate player akin to Capitaland and or Mapletree etc. It still has many properties and has given UIB reit the first rights of refusal to purchase in future. Any further divestment of properties into UIB is going to add value to Boustead. As it is, its NAV per share alreay shot up to about $1.5 from $1.17. I would discount the increase in EPS to $0.482 from $0.196 as the increase was from the divestment and would not be repeated. Nevertheless, it is expected that future income from UIB reit [DPU, management fee, etc] should add at least $0.02 to $0.03 to Boustead' s EPS. In summary, going forward Boustead should be a company with EPS of about $0.25 that pay dividend of about $.10 per year. A 10x PE would price Boustead at fair value of $2.5. | ||||

Sound enticing and for it to work, i.e., Boustead keep UIB reit in its book and payout higher dividend, then it has to pay at least 12 cents dividend to justify at least 5.6% yield based on current share price of $2.15. Boustead' s latest 12 months dividend as at Dec 25 was 7.5 cents so whether UIB alone will add 4.5 cents dividend remain to be seen. I think it is quite hard because UIB has to declare 22.5 cents dividend for Boustead to secure 4.5 cents based on its 20% stake. However, if UIB' s DPU is at least 12.5 cents then Boustead' s share will be 2.5 cents and Boustead should have no problem paying at least 10 cents dividend and that will give a yield of about 4.65% based current share price of $2.15. I think this is doable so let' s wait and see what Boustead is going to do with its UIB reit.

It is generally better for Boustead Singapore to raise its BAU dividend rather than give a one-off dividend-in-specie because markets value repeatable income more than event payouts. A higher BAU dividend signals that cashflows have structurally improved and can be sustained year after year, which supports re-rating and long-term shareholder confidence. A dividend-in-specie, by contrast, is usually treated as non-recurring &mdash like giving shareholders a one-time gift basket rather than increasing their monthly allowance &mdash and its impact often fades quickly after the ex-date. Keeping REIT units on the balance sheet also allows Boustead to collect steady distributions, smooth earnings across cycles, and gradually pass this through as higher regular dividends without forcing shareholders to manage or sell distributed REIT units. Over time, this quieter approach compounds better, aligns with long-term owners, and preserves flexibility for capital recycling and growth, rather than locking value into a single, irreversible event.

Strong performance past few days but so far it is quiet on the reit listing news. Current market cap for Boustead is about $1.01B and with the proposed UIB reit valuing at $1.9B and Boustead' s share at 20%, 1 Boustead share is worth about $0.75 alone based on UIB' s book. Boustead could well be distributing 2 UIB shares for every 10 Boustead shares if it wish but it need to be emphasised that we do not know what' s Boustead' s plan so far with regard to its interest in the proposed UIB reit. Recent price actions suggest exciting time ahead. Hopefully with March approaching there will be more news on UIB listing. | ||||

Intraday high $2.02, 3 more cents to equal ATH of $2.05 clocked on 21.4.14. I think it is achievable soon if not today. | ||||

Should test $1.95 soon, the previous high acheived on 9.10.25. Looking back, shareholders have been asking for the longest time whether Boustead can do a reit lisitng but Boustead has taken quite some time to decide on this. However, since it privatised Boustead Project, the momentum is gaining for a reit listing and it has now focus on taking this route. We could see the listing materialise soon if market speculation of the March fund raising is correct. | ||||

Unlikely, unless there is something seriously wrong with the underlying assets. The demand on SGX for REITs looks quite strong and stronger than it has been for some time so if Boustead thought some time ago that listing a REIT was a good idea then from a markets standpoint then the case would only have gotten stronger since.

How likely is Boustead going to call off the UI Boustead Reit? Or is it carved in stone already? Seems like it is taking a very long time. | ||||

Yes, this is a separate and much larger pool of Boustead' s assets. Investors will hope there are no delays.

So as I understand it early last year Boustead agreed to sell its assets to a third party fund in return for some shares in that fund, worth about S$100m if I remember correctly. This would be a step to get some assets off the balance sheet and towards recycling assets and crystallise Boustead' s potential undevaluation. This is no longer happening. The reason is unclear, but if no reason is given then it is human nature to assume the worst, which might be that perhaps there is an issue with the assets (given Boustead seems to still be putting some cash into the fund) but this is conjecture. What is factual is that this is a setback in terms of the recycling assets storyline. To put things in proportion though it is only S$100m. Not the end of the world.

Boustead Singapore tweaks deal with Unified Industrial to retain control of Vietnam business
This allows the company to better manage its real estate and fund management business in one of Asean&rsquo s fastest growing economy
[SINGAPORE] Boustead Singapore on Monday (Jan 12) announced amendments to a master share subscription agreement between its subsidiaries and Hong Kong-based real estate company Unified Industrial.
The amendments will allow it to retain control of its real estate and fund management business segment in Vietnam. In March 2025, the group announced an agreement to transfer its real estate asset management and fund management business to Unified Industrial.
Under the amendments, the company will retain control of Echo Base-BP Capital (Vietnam), instead of transferring it to Unified Industrial.
Other agreements, collectively known as the Vietnam obligations, will also not occur, Boustead Singapore said.
The amendments come as the growth of Boustead Singapore&rsquo s real estate and fund management business in Vietnam remains a &ldquo continual area of focus&rdquo for the company, with the country as a key strategic growth market.
&ldquo The termination of the Vietnam obligations under the master share subscription agreement would continue to give Boustead Singapore operational control of (its) real estate and fund management business segment in Vietnam,&rdquo the company said.
As Vietnam is a developing South-east Asian real estate market, the company noted that its industrial assets in the country would have a longer gestation and maturity period.
&ldquo With a long-term view of its capital allocation strategies, (the group) would be better able to manage its real estate and fund management business segment in Vietnam through full operational control of the business,&rdquo Boustead Singapore said.
The company noted that the transactions under the master share subscription agreement are separate and independent of the proposed initial public offering and listing of UI Boustead Reit on the Singapore Exchange.
Vietnam ended 2025 on a high note. Gross domestic product expanded 8 per cent from the year before, marking the second-fastest pace in 15 years and among the fastest for Asean economies.
Buoyed by the numbers, Hanoi is targeting double-digit growth in 2026, betting on higher public investment, export diversification, private-sector productivity gains and deeper capital markets.
