0100 GMT - Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust's proposed S$192.1 million sale of its Australian office property 357 Collins Street is timely, Citi's Brandon Lee says in a note. The divestment is likely to offer advantages such as expanded debt headroom for new purchases and improved operating metrics from exiting the challenging Melbourne office market. These should far outweigh the cons, which include slight distribution-per-unit dilution and the asset's sale price being lower than what it was purchased for. He notes that the trust's units have underperformed the Singapore REIT sector year-to-date, but maintains a buy rating thanks to a healthy balance sheet, undemanding valuations and decent fundamentals within the Europe and Australia logistics sector. Citi also maintains its S$1.00 target. Units last closed at S$0.855. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
