Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
On Wednesday, CLSA analyst Masahiro Mochizuki adjusted the outlook for Industrial & Infrastructure Fund (3249:JP), upgrading the stock from a Hold to an Outperform rating. Accompanying the rating change, the price target was also increased from JPY123,000 to JPY135,000, signaling confidence in the company's growth prospects.
Mochizuki's assessment is based on the expectation that the fund, managed by KKR Japan Realty Management, is aiming for a dividend per unit (DPU) growth of 3-5% annually. This growth is anticipated to come from more than 1% through internal means, 1-1.5% through external growth, and potentially more from capital gains if suitable opportunities arise.
The analyst highlighted the fund's robust pipeline for acquisitions, which is seen as a key driver for its future performance. The ability of Industrial & Infrastructure Fund to continue its distinctive strategy for external growth and to generate additional payouts through capital gains as it refreshes its asset portfolio was particularly noted as a factor for the upgraded rating.
In the analyst's view, the fund's dividend yield of 6.1% is attractive, and the upward revision of the discounted dividend model (DDM)-based target price to JPY135,000 reflects the potential for shareholder returns. The new rating and price target suggest that CLSA sees a more favorable investment outlook for the fund, encouraging investors to consider the stock more favorably than before.
