Parkson> If you actually took the time to scan through the Q4 Results, it shows Fair value adjustment of investment properties of (-RM39,933,986). As you know, the market conditions have put a damper on property values, and that is reflected in the revised NAV of the share, and the Q4 Results. It is a paper loss, not a cashflow loss.
Cashflow is stable: this is probably one of the few REITs that has consistently delivered stable dividends of above 10sen Y-o-Y without fail since 2007. (Currently at 10.5 sen for the FY2015.)
Possible concerns: 1. Borrowings have increased due to a property acquisition (Mahkota Parade individual lot). 2. Some Material Litigation regarding Mahkota Parade. 3. Slowing consumer demand in 2016.

Parkson> Take a simple analogy: You buy a house for RM1 million, and rent it out at RM60k / year. You do a revaluation of your property the next year, and find that it is only worth RM940k on the open market. But, you're still able to rent it out at RM60k / year.
Do you sell? Is it a loss-making asset? Of course not. On paper, you might have lost money... but it's generating positive rental income every year.
(Page 8) MOVING FORWARD INTO 2016 We expect 2016 to be Hektar REIT’s toughest year over its 10-year history. To reiterate, the oil crisis, the currency crisis, mass layoffs and hike in interest rates from the implementation of Bank Negara’s Basel III are not doing Hektar REIT and retailers any favours. The retail outlook in 2016 is very lacklustre and retailers continue to be skittish. A significant number of our loyal retailers are seeking our support to reduce their rent until the tide is turned. These are not fly-by-night retailers. They have been with us for many years and have never objected to rent increases before. I feel it is now time for us to demonstrate our loyalty to them during this extremely trying period. Bear in mind though, that by acceding to these rent reduction, Hektar REIT may experience dips in revenue in 2016. However, every cloud has a silver lining. We now expect more opportunities for acquisition as we are now in a better position to negotiate with vendors, who we feel are more willing to accept our high-yield requirement.
===
In the recent 2015 Annual Report, The Chairman/CEO acknowledges the tough economic climate, and cautions investors on possible dips in revenue in 2016. However, he also sees possible opportunities for acquisitions. It is possible that HEKTAR might look to issue new shares in the near future to fund future property acquisitions, as well as reduce gearing levels (currently at 44%).
There are also quite a few property tenancies expiring this year (37% by rental income). So, let's assume a worst case scenario: a negative rental reversion of about 10%, meaning a drop of about 3.7% in revenue, from RM125.5m to RM120.8m (less RM4.7m). 2015 Property expenses: RM49m 2015 Other expenses (manager fees, loan interest, etc) RM32.5m Realised income in 2015 was about RM44.6m, so a drop of RM4.7m means est. realised income of RM39.9m, Divided by 400m shares. Assuming they pay out 95% as dividend, that works out to 9.5 sen per share, which is still a 6.3% DY at the current share price.
Overall, still a decent defensive stock for the medium to long-term. I will probably look to accumulate this stock if it drops below RM1.40
best reits but trouble is lease getting more n more expensive to bussinesses in malls hence many unable to make business viable so many change n disruption in most malls. wonder if reits may suffer so much from these uncertainty. also many malls planning to open soon esp in major towns. would prefer to stay off reits for next few years .happy investings.
Proposed rights issue to fund the purchase of 1Segamat in Johor.
2.4 Source of funding: For illustrative purposes, assuming the Intended Gross Proceeds raised is RM74.8 million, the Purchase Consideration will be fully satisfied via the net proceeds from the Proposed Rights Issue of RM71.2 million and bank borrowings of RM32.8 million.
As an outsider without holding any HEKTAR nor any intention to accumulate HEKTAR, I can share with you my view on CS AEI in SP.
I can tell you CS AEI is a success project. I project CS rental will be going up in line with inflation with the new introduction of MBO Cinema and the sole only McD outlet in SP. Plus, the crowd going for CS and AJM is a totally different type of crowd, AJM croud is usually mostly groceries, while CS is mostly for lepak-ing. With the xchange of HBLED instead of the old yellow bulb, its looks more invigorating rather than the place that gather those "la-la-zai"

I came to understand Parkson Subang Parade is closing down in Dec 2016. Hektar offers 6 months rental free to take over retail space presently occupied by Parkson......
Closing down an un profitable outlet is easier than selling whole shopping mall when it gets empty. If you go to Penang One Stop is one example of abandoned shopping mall despite 20 years ago business is very good there.
To Parkson, any mall if badly managed will fail, and mall build with individual lots for sale are difficult if not impossible to manage. Those fail malls you mentioned fall into this category.
So this why Hektar is flying recently? --> 10-Oct-2016 Hektar REIT buys Johor shopping centre for $24.07 million from Ecofirst Consolidated Read more at: http://www.dealstreetasia.com/stories/55061-55061/
It's actually quite old news (June 2016). We'll have to wait for Ecofirst to have their AGM (25 Oct) to approve the transaction. The wild fluctuations could be due to the fact that more than 71% of the shares are privately held by the major shareholders, and the relatively low daily volumes.
I sold off hektar as I feel 1.66 is the peak, it will comeback to 1.50 level in dec when parkson close down. Moviing to Mqreit, better yield and great potential as most premises are 100 % rented out.
Once the acquisition of 1 Segamat completed, foresee the share price to rise to 1.80 level where the yield squeeze to Pavreit and Sunreit level. This is the best REIT in Malaysia with steady yield.
Hektar owned 6 well managed shopping complex, only one complex in Kuang valley, the rest in smaller town or city. Major shareholder are, one singaporean employee fund, EPF, and government related fund, no major share holder in construction activity. A stable REiT.
