The above data is updated with all SREITs results for 1Q 2021. Generally, SREITs are close to their fair value in terms of Price/NAV with the median at 0.96. The median dividend yield of 5.78% is quite attractive, showing signs of dividend yield recovery to the pre-COVID period. The dividend yield for the hospitality sector is the lowest among all, as income is affected due to travel restrictions. Note that both DPU and NAV are lagging figures.
