Those portfolio gains and the latest distribution announcement come after a solid rebound, with the unit price now at A$1.37 and an 18.1 percent year to date share price return. The 1 year total shareholder return of 27.6 percent suggests momentum in the story is still building.
If you like how HDN is steadily compounding returns but want to see what else is quietly gaining traction, now is a good time to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With HDN trading just below broker targets but already boasting double digit returns and fresh valuation gains, the key question now is whether the units still offer upside or if the market is already pricing in the next leg of growth.
With HomeCo Daily Needs REIT last closing at A$1.37 against a narrative fair value of about A$1.44, the focus shifts to how long term earnings and margins might underpin that modest upside.
The $650 million medium term development pipeline leveraging underutilized land and tenant led expansion provides embedded organic growth opportunities as new projects are completed at attractive yields (minimum 7% targeted), leading to portfolio revaluations, increased rental income, and net asset value uplift.
Robust asset management intensity, including tenant remixing, sustained leasing spreads (recently double digit on renewals), and high annual rent escalations (87% of leases with fixed increases averaging 3.5%), is expected to outpace cost inflation and drive margin expansion and earnings per share growth.
Curious how falling future margins, flatlined earnings and a higher profit multiple can still justify upside from here? The narrative connects those moving parts in one detailed valuation roadmap. Want to see which assumptions do the heavy lifting in that A$1.44 fair value?
Result: Fair Value of $1.44 (UNDERVALUED)

However, sustained e commerce growth or renewed pressure from powerful anchor tenants could cap leasing spreads and undermine the modest upside implied by today’s valuation.

Analysts see modest upside to A$1.44, but our earnings based lens is more cautious. HDN trades on 11.4x earnings versus a fair ratio of 17.7x and a 15.5x industry average. However, our model pegs fair value nearer A$1.15, suggesting downside if sentiment or rates turn.
