On 30 April 2026, Mapletree Logistics Trust (“MLT”) released their full year result for FY2026. MLT’s portfolio occupancy has increased during the quarter, which may translate to improvements in net property income based on the overall positive rental reversions. MLT has also redeployed proceeds in March 2026 on a Grade A warehouse in Mumbai, India, as part of their rejuvenation strategy. There were no other significant changes to MLT’s overall operating fundamentals, which remained stable quarter-over-quarter.

Dividend
| Year | Yield | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2.98% | SGD 0.036 |
| 2025 | 6.22% | SGD 0.076 |
| 2024 | 7.02% | SGD 0.086 |
| 2023 | 7.40% | SGD 0.090 |
| 2022 | 6.15% | SGD 0.075 |
The distributions in the second quarter of the calendar year 2026 landed at SGD0.018 per unit. As the distribution is similar to the previous quarter, this is a reasonable base to project an annualized yield of SGD0.072 per unit.
With a closing share price of SGD1.22 per unit as of 12 June 2026, this translates to a dividend yield of 5.90%. For my benchmark, a general reasonable yield would be around 4.75%. MLT’s dividend yield is above my benchmark, and the dividend yield is Favourable.

If using dividend yield of 6.75% as a benchmark, based on the expected distribution of SGD0.072 per unit, MLT may see its share price drop by 12.6% to SGD1.07 per unit.
| Yield | Share Price | Downside |

| Current | 1.22 | – |
| 6.75% | 1.07 | -12.6% |

Interest Rate Sensitivity
An unusually divided Federal Reserve on 29 April 2026, Wednesday held its key interest rate steady as policymakers grappled with the policy impact of persistent inflation and awaited a looming leadership transition at the central bank.
In what may have been Chair Jerome Powell’s final meeting at the helm, the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee voted to hold the benchmark funds rate in a range between 3.50% to 3.75%. Markets had been pricing in a 100% chance of no change.
However, the meeting saw a dramatic turn amid a groundswell of officials who opposed messaging that further rate cuts could be ahead. Amid expectations for a routine vote to hold the benchmark funds rate steady, the FOMC instead was split along 8-4 lines, with officials expressing different reasons for their vote.

MLT have disclosed that every potential +25 bps in interest rates on variable rate borrowings is estimated to reduce DPU by 0.10 Singapore cents per annum. With DPU of SGD0.01819 per unit for the 4th quarter of FY2026, the impact is illustrated as below:
| Change in Interest Rates | Impact on DPU (SG cents) | Impact on DPU (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 25 bps | 0.010 | 0.5% |
| 50 bps | 0.020 | 1.1% |

MLT has an enlarged portfolio covering multiple trade sectors. The high quality and diverse tenant base provide resilience to the MLT portfolio across challenging events. The top 10 tenants accounted for 19.7% of MLT’s portfolio with the top tenant accounting for 3.7% during the period, providing income diversity to the portfolio.
