Retail S-REITs see lower cost of debt and positive rental reversions
Seven Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (S-REITs) with local retail assets have posted mixed results in revenue and net property income. Retail S-REITs' debt costs fell with lower interest rates, while rising consumer traffic drove positive rental reversions.1. $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) reported a 0.5% dip in Gross Revenue and 0.4% dip in Net Property Income (NPI) for 1H 2025, mainly due to the sale of 21 Collyer Quay. Excluding that property, both would have risen by 1.4% and 1.7%. Distribution per unit (DPU) rose 3.5% to 5.62 cents. Capital management improved with leverage and debt costs reduced to 37.9% and 3.4%. Portfolio occupancy remained steady at 96.3%, down just 0.1% quarter
Over the five trading sessions more than 110 director interests and substantial shareholdings were filed. Across more than 40 primary-listed stocks, Directors or CEOs reported 17 acquisitions and 12 disposals, while substantial shareholders recorded 11 acquisitions and seven disposals. 1. $Q&M Dental(QC7.SI)$ Between Aug 25 and 27, Quan Min Holdings Pte Ltd acquired 6,542,700 shares of Q & M Dental Group (Singapore) an average price at S$0.493 per share.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ continues to consolidate sideways. Rejected off $355 and has now pulled back to a level of support. The 20 and 50 simple moving averages are just below, they held as support before and will be a great place to go long if price pulls back a bit more to $325. Are you buying tsla at these prices?
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ This lot of underlying was taken assignment since December 2024. The share spent most of its time in the red only to start turning profitable 2 months ago in June. However I have sold a couple of Cover call option hedging the down side, thus the real profit is higher than reflected if were to pull all the Option trades together.
$BABA-W(09988)$ I just can't resist the temptation to take some profits after a decent run up. I think it will be crossing the $140 mark anytime soon since the trading volume is on the high note. Alibaba can take on the challenges from other AI companies in US and I am sure that it will have a significant breakthrough in AI technology soon. China's sentiment is improving and the stocks will find its sweet run-up anytime. Good luck, Tigers.

Pop Mart is no longer a quirky side-show in China’s retail scene. The toymaker’s leap past HK$300 a share has caught the market’s eye, with revenue and profit surging to new highs. For a stock that once languished at HK$40, the rally feels less like a spike of speculative mania and more like a brand that has grown into a genuine cultural and financial force. The question now is whether investors can treat HK$300 as a durable foundation or whether it is simply another fleeting fad in the fast-moving world of collectables. Where collectables rise like skyscrapers in tomorrow’s financial district Growth that looks structural, not seasonal I view Pop Mart’s revenue growth as a structural shift, not a one-off. Trailing twelve-month revenue has reached RMB 22.4 billion, up over 200% year on year
