UOB Kay Hian’s (UOBKH) Jonathan Koh is maintaining his "overweight" call on REITs, specifically those with data centre (DC) focused portfolios.
Koh notes that the advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models has caused a dramatic shift in the data centre landscape, due to AI’s requirement of high-performance computing with massive parallel processing and vast storage.

The Shanghai Index has been in a steady uptrend since the start of April. Five months later, market commentators have finally noticed.
Last week, many were breathlessly announcing that the Chinese market is rising. This week, they are sternly warning that the Chinese market is in a bubble. To prove this, they trot out the same gloomy statistics of housing, population and obscure economic figures that they have promoted for the past 20 years to forecast the collapse of the Chinese economy.
CGS International’s (CGSI) Natalie Ong and Lim Siew Khee are resuming coverage on US-listed China Yuchai International with an “add” call and a hiked target price of US$39.50 ($50.75) from US$13.30 previously.
China Yuchai, a subsidiary of SGX-listed Hong Leong Asia, manufactures high-horsepower (HHP) engines inhouse via its subsidiary Guangxi Yuchai Machinery (GYMCL) and joint venture (JV) MTU Yuchai.
Geraldine Wong and Derek Tan of DBS Group Research have joined fellow analysts in turning more bullish on CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT).

“The largest integrated commercial S-REIT is well positioned to ride the upcycle in Singapore’s office and retail markets,” say Wong and Tan in their Aug 25 note.
