The report says even the 6.89 cents is not assured. Could be lower. If so, yield might go under 7%, still worth to invest?
There is no universal standard for worth.
It depends on individual.
Compared to FD 3.0%, someone can say 7% is worth, doubling.
Compared to some ordinary stocks out there that can gain 10-15%, then someone can say it is not worth.
If market bull run, others stock achieved 20-30%, then someone can say it is not worth.
If market crash, other stocks plunging resulted losses across, while Stareit is holding up due to 7% yield, then people may say, magnificent.
For sure, it is a projection, no one dare to guarantee anything.
Yes, if could be lower due to various reason.
Yield is about price you paid/bought, so if the DPU is lower than 6.89 cents, while there is other alternatives offer 8% yield, then price of the reit may go lower for adjustment comparatively.
That's why Stareit is not traded at Rm1.00 or near its NAV. Market is self-adjustment on itself.
But to be fair, Stareit achieved this yield without/little borrowing or gearing. While most reit is under some gearing range from 25-40%.
If they want to achieve 8% yield, geared up a bit, then it is achievable. My view only.
Don't get me wrong, I don't recommend whether Stareit is good or not, worth or not worth.
