Sabana REIT: Resistance to watch.

One month ago, I mentioned that Sabana REIT's unit price saw higher lows formed since August 2011 and that it was repeatedly testing gap resistance at 91c and 91.5c. I wondered then whether its unit price could break resistance to go higher. It did, going on to break resistance at 93.5c, and, in the last few sessions, tested resistance at 95c. It ended the day at 96c a unit with a massive buy up after market closed today.

Sabana REIT is my largest investment for passive income and what I have now is part of my core investment for passive income. So, it is unlikely that I would sell unless its unit price becomes very much over valued. Keeping the status quo, Sabana REIT would generate approximately 38% of my passive income from S-REITs alone this year.

I am expecting a higher DPU in the next quarter as contributions from acquisitions made in recent months as well as savings from lower cost of funding for newer loans kick in.

Technically, if the bullish momentum continues, 99.5c could be the next level to be tested in time.

At 99.5c, its distribution yield is still a very attractive 8.84%. I still feel that a fair value for the REIT's units is closer to $1.10 per unit which would see its distribution yield compressing to 8%.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT: How much higher?

People are waking up to the stronger numbers as well as the attractive and potentially growing income streams of AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT.

It is interesting also to note that some analysts are reporting that the REIT has not one but two strong sponsors. In the distant past, few would even talk about the REIT in a positive light, much less the sponsors. This shows how durable the negativities created by the recapitalisation of the former MI-REIT were.

Personally, on hindsight, I am thankful for the negativities which made people avoid the REIT as it allowed me to accumulate more units of the REIT at prices way below its fair value.

The REIT is currently my second largest investment and is an important passive income generator for me. Keeping the status quo, it is expected to generate some 32% of my total passive income from S-REITs alone this year. Will I keep the status quo?

My current investment in the REIT forms part of my core investment for passive income. It is not for trading. Unless its unit price rises significantly, I am likely to keep the status quo.

Although fundamentally attractive, we can only wait and see how much higher Mr. Market is willing to pay for the REIT's units. $1.10 is the resistance to watch. Overcoming this convincingly could see $1.125 and $1.15 tested next.
