The third quarter financial reporting season is here again. Take advantage of this weekend to update the latest performance and progress of REITs in the watchlist, then organize and share with readers. The year-end work is really busy, I kindly ask readers for understanding as the recent update speed has dropped sharply.
Compared to Singapore's real estate investment trusts, Malaysia's various real estate investment trusts have actually shown quite stable performance in recent years, even surpassing the overall market performance. The real estate investment trusts I've been tracking have been steadily recovering their earnings per share distributions after the 2020 COVID period, with many even surpassing their pre-pandemic performance.
Taking the performance of the real estate investment trust I've been tracking from early 2024 until now (including dividend returns), in this period:
$PAVREIT (5212.MY)$ : 33.66%
$CLMT (5180.MY)$ : 28.41%
$IGBREIT (5227.MY)$ : 28.11%
$SUNREIT (5176.MY)$ : 25.19%

$KIPREIT (5280.MY)$ : 8.28%

Maybe it's because the overall market is unstable, and dividend stocks have become the safe haven of the market?
