Singapore Presidential Election is over. Let us go back to look at Singapore REITs To Buy in September 2023. As shared last month, most REITs were impacted by the higher financial costs due to the Fed rate hikes. The higher financial costs eroded into the Distributable Income to Unitholders.
Because of the decline is DPU (Distribution Per Unit), some of the REITs were being sold down by existing unitholders. Dividend investors are not so concern about the decline in share prices because recurring passive income is what we are most concern about. Whether the decline in share prices of REITs is an opportunity or threat, I leave it to you to decide.
As usual, I like to share that it is very tedious to analyse each and every individual REIT to decide which ones to buy. By the time you finish analyzing all the REITs, the boat would have sailed away.
As a quick way, I will usually use a stock screener to screen for a list of REITs that meet my predefined criteria so that I have a shorter list of REITs to analyse.
It is important for you to know that you should not buy the stock solely based on the current dividend yield. The screening only provide you a shorter list to analyse further.
With the shorter list of stocks, I will then drill in further into each of them to analyse if they are worthy to add into my stock portfolio. My preferred stock screener is the Stock Screener from Stocks Café.
Many reader keep asking me at what current dividend yield will I buy? Below are the criteria that I used to screen for dividend stocks. You can adjust them to fit your risk appetite.
- Current Yield (%) >= 5 and <= 10
- Price / Earnings <=20
- Price / Book <= 3
- Market Capitalization >= 1B
I have screened the highest yielding REITs and sorted them in descending order based on their current dividend yield. Please do your own due diligence prior to investing into the below REITs.
