First REIT’s interest cost savings are outpaced by the appreciation of the Singapore dollar, says OCBC Investment Research analyst Ada Lim, who is staying “hold” on the REIT.

With a portfolio of 32 nursing homes and hospitals located in Singapore, Japan and Indonesia, the healthcare-focused REIT’s 9M2025 rental income and net property income (NPI) slipped 2% and 1.4% y-o-y to $75.5 million and $73.3 million respectively. But foreign exchange (FX) “continues to be a recurring detractor”, says Lim in a Nov 3 note.

Underlying rental income from Indonesia and Japan was up 5.5% and flat at IDR567.3 billion and JPY1.1 billion respectively, in local currency terms.
