Keppel REIT announces its results for 4Q2015 on 18th January 2016. Although 4th quarter Distribution Per Unit (DPU) increased 11.26% to 1.68 cents as compared to 1.51 cents for the same period last year, the annualised DPU fell 5.85% to 6.8 cents as compared to 7.23 cents a year ago.
If we take the market closing price of S$0.93 on 31st December 2015, the yield for Keppel REIT will be 7.3%. This is pretty decent to me. At the point of writing this post, the closing price is S$0.89.
