This is to give an update to my last post "Taking a Punt in Keppel DC REIT Rights Issue To Make Small Immediate Profit". Interestingly, market price of Keppel DC REIT ("KDC") did not drop below S$2.40 per unit after the rights issuance and in fact went up to S$2.43 per unit as at Oct 28, 2025. Anyway, I managed to get all my excess rights issue of 5,000 units of KDC units. So in a way, I have realised immediate profit of +S$750 from selling off 5,000 units my KDC holdings at that juncture and also managed to get back all the 5,000 units that I had earlier sold off via the excess rights subscription.
Future Prospects of KDC
The current distribution yield for KDC is at a miserable 4.2%. The stock market seems to be awarding a market premium per unit over the net assets per unit of KDC. This can be attributed to the M&A path that the management of KDC is embarking on which will mean growth in its DPU. With a market premium over its net asset, it will be easy for KDC to find yield accretive data centres to add on. This is the virtue cycle of a REIT that is highly sought after.
Parting Thoughts
I do not particularly rejoice in owning too many KDC units as I do not like the constant request for capital injection via rights issue. Personally, I thought that buying into its sponsor, Keppel Ltd, maybe a better alternative rather than investing into KDC at the current market price of S$2.43 per unit.
