  • CapitaLand Ascott Trust Sells Robertson House Above Book Value, Trades at Discounted P/E
    June 6, 2026, 9:34 PM EDT. CapitaLand Ascott Trust (SGX:HMN) agreed to sell The Robertson House, a 336-unit Singapore hotel, at a 4.0% premium to book value with completion expected in Q3 2026. The stock closed at SGD0.895, gaining 1.13% in one day but down 6.77% year-to-date, with a 1-year total shareholder return of 9.79%. Trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11.1x, the trust is valued below its peer average of 20.5x and Asian Hotel and Resort REITs average of 12.9x, suggesting undervaluation. However, risks remain from a 15.27% YoY income decline and geographic exposure affecting travel demand. A discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis indicates a smaller margin below fair value, signaling cautious optimism on price potential.
