Mapletree Logistics Trust gears up for 'aggressive' acquisitions

Analyst expects $250m by end-2014.

According to DBS, supported by a defensive portfolio and strong balance sheet (gearing of c34%), MLT will be taking a more aggressive stance towards growth and will pursue acquisition and development opportunities to expand its portfolio with an aim towards growing distributions.

"We now expect S$250m (S$200m previously) of acquisitions in our forecasts by end of FY14, resulting in a strong 8% growth in DPU in FY15F," DBS said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
