Urban Logistics REIT - Update from QuotedData
17th May 2023
Fundamentals strong as market stabilises
The industrial and logistics sector suffered its largest fall in value on record in the second half of 2022, even eclipsing that of the global financial crisis, as investment yields moved out rapidly to keep pace with interest rates. The fall in Urban Logistics REIT's (SHED's) share price was even faster, putting it on a wide discount to net asset value (NAV). However, evidence that values have bottomed out is building, with MSCI's quarterly UK property index reporting uplifts in March for the first time in months. Whilst SHED has yet to announce its end of March NAV (due in June), its current discount to NAV of 27.6% seems very attractive.
This is especially the case given that the fundamentals supporting rental growth in the last mile, urban logistics sub-sector remain strong. Demand for space, specifically from third-party logistics (3PL) operators (which make up a large portion of SHED's tenant base), is robust (see page 6), while supply constraints remain.
A fifth of the company's leases are either expiring or have a rent review by September 2023, presenting SHED with the near-term opportunity to capture the compelling rental growth still evident in the sector.
