Large one off loss still in the numbers

• Trailing net income excluding extra items sits at S$34.9 million for H1 2026, even though the last 12 months also include a one off loss of S$95.5 million that pulled earlier periods into loss.
• What stands out for a bullish narrative is that OUE Real Estate Investment Trust shifted from a loss of S$117.1 million in H2 2024 to a profit of S$40.9 million in H1 2025, yet
  • that recovery is still filtered through the one off S$95.5 million charge, so headline profitability over the full 12 months looks weaker than the latest half suggests.
  • investors who are optimistic on the quality of the CBD office and hospitality assets might see the recent S$34.9 million trailing profit as more relevant than the earlier loss, but the data shows both are still part of the reported track record.

P/E of 60.2x versus peers

• The trust is on a trailing P/E of 60.2x, compared with 22x for direct peers and 16.8x for the broader Asian REITs group.
• Critics highlight that such a high trailing multiple sits uncomfortably beside a recent period of losses, because
  • the trailing H1 2026 figures include a loss of S$117.1 million in H2 2024 and a loss of S$14.6 million in H2 2025, so the earnings base behind the P/E has only recently moved back into profit.
  • with the unit price at about S$0.38, the market is still valuing OUE Real Estate Investment Trust well above sector averages on this earnings measure, even though the last few halves show a mix of profits and losses rather than a steady profit stream.

DCF fair value far above unit price

• The current unit price of about S$0.38 sits well below a DCF fair value figure of S$0.99, implying the market price is roughly 61.5% under that estimate.
• Supporters of a more positive view point to this gap, but it sits alongside some clear financial pressures, because
  • the trust’s interest payments are described as not well covered by earnings on trailing numbers, which means servicing debt has been absorbing a large share of recent profits.
  • the dividend record is also described as unstable, and when that is set against the DCF fair value of S$0.99, it gives investors a trade off between a lower market price and a track record that still includes large losses and uneven distributions.
