Source: Kapitales Research

Highlights:

  • Statutory net profit rose to $35.8 million for the half year.
  • Units climbed about 6.1% to $2.80 at the time of writing.
  • Interim distribution confirmed and full-year guidance maintained.

Dexus Convenience Retail REIT (ASX: DXC) climbed sharply in the latest session after releasing its half-year results, with the stock rising about 6.1% to $2.80 at the time of writing as investors reacted to the improved profit outcome.

Profit more than doubles year on year

The convenience retail landlord reported a statutory net profit of $35.8 million for the six months to December 31, compared with $14.7 million in the prior corresponding period. The result marks a significant improvement in earnings and highlights the resilience of its income-focused property portfolio. The growth was supported by higher rental income and a valuation uplift across its property assets, reflecting stable demand for convenience retail sites and long-term lease structures.

Funds from operations (FFO) also edged higher, underpinned by like-for-like income growth and rent reviews across the portfolio.

Distribution outlook remains steady

Alongside the improved profit, the REIT confirmed an interim distribution for investors, maintaining its income-focused strategy. The trust also reiterated its full-year guidance, signalling confidence in stable cash flows from its portfolio. The REIT invests primarily in Australian service-station and convenience retail assets leased to major operators, providing contracted rental increases and relatively predictable earnings streams.

Market reaction

The stronger profit result appears to have boosted investor sentiment, pushing the unit price higher during the session. The move comes as the ASX reporting season gathers pace, with results announcements often driving short-term volatility in listed stocks.
