Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) - Diversified Property
Strategic Profile
The company's objective is to provide investors with a reliable investment in New Zealand property by targeting superior risk-adjusted returns over time through the ownership and active management of a diversified, high-quality portfolio. Kiwi Property has announced plans to become one of the country's leading build-to-rent owners and operators, with potential to construct up to 1,200 apartments at Sylvia Park and 600 at LynnMall.
Cyborg Score Rationale
KPG matched the NZ Retail REITs industry which returned 6.4% over the past year and exceeded the NZ Market which returned -1.2% over the past year. However, recent technical analysis shows mixed signals with falling share prices near a 52-week low of $0.82, offset by strategic growth initiatives in build-to-rent residential.
