Singapore REITs may finally be turning the corner.

Singapore REITs enter 2026 at a pivotal moment say's Kenny Loh, as interest-rate cuts revive sentiment and valuations remain below historical averages.

After delivering a near-23% gain in 2025 - their best run since 2019 - analysts expect a two-year earnings upgrade cycle driven by falling borrowing costs and rising distributions.

We unpack which REITs face refinancing risks, how balance sheets are being managed, and where higher interest coverage offers protection.

From industrial and logistics to retail, offices and data centres, we assess which property sub-sectors look resilient - and which still face headwinds.

We also ask whether current price-to-NAV discounts present compelling entry points, or if markets are still pricing in too much caution.

Joining us is Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Wealth Advisory Director, as we discuss strategy, risks and specific S-REITs on the radar for 2026, hosted by Michelle Martin.
