Hektar Reit buys Alor Gajah land for RM40mil

Azanis Shahila Aman
KUALA LUMPUR: Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust (Hektar Reit) is buying two plots of land in Alor Gajah, Melaka measuring 16.92 hectares for RM40 million.
This is part of Hektar Reit's long-term strategy to enhance sustainable income and portfolio diversification.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Hektar Reit said its trustee, MTrustee Bhd, had entered into two separate conditional sale and purchase agreements (SPAs) with KYS College Sdn Bhd for the acquisition.
The acquisition will be funded via a mix of cash and borrowings, with RM24 million in financing expected to be raised.
Upon completion of the SPAs, the properties will be leased to KYSA Education Sdn Bhd, the current operator of Kolej Yayasan Saad Melaka, under a 30-year triple net lease agreement, with an option to extend for another 30 years.
The lease agreements, already signed by MTrustee, include a 10 per cent rental escalation every three years and are expected to yield an average return of 8.45 per cent over the 30-year tenure.
"The rental shall commence upon the completion of the respective SPA," the Reit said.
Hektar Reit said the lease structure provides a stable, long-term income stream while offering an attractive risk-adjusted return.
"In line with its long-term strategy, Hektar Reit may also evaluate the acquisition of future developed portions of the site, allowing the company to secure incremental, recurring income streams and further strengthen its portfolio diversification through increased exposure to the resilient education sector," it added.

Bursa Malaysia extends downtrend to close lower

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia closed lower on Wednesday on continuous profit-taking in selected heavyweights led by the financial services and utilities sectors. At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 13.90 points or 0.91 per cent to 1,511.50 from Tuesday's close of 1,525.40 The benchmark index opened 1.63 points lower at 1,523.77 and moved between 1,510.14 and 1,526.29 throughout the session. The market breadth was negative, with 727 decliners outpacing 335 gainers and 432 counters unchanged, while 951 were untraded and eight suspended. Turnover improved to 3.18 billion shares worth RM2.44 billion, compared with 3.07 billion shares worth RM2.36 billion on Tuesday UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd's head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said telecommunications counters led gains among FBM KLCI constituents, while consumer discretionary names bore the brunt of the sell-off. However, across the broader market, all indices closed in negative territory, reflecting the cautious mood despite recent domestic interest rate cuts, he added. "Adding to the subdued tone, Indonesia's successful negotiation of a 19 per cent tariff rate with the United States (US) further dampened sentiment as Malaysia awaits clarity on its tariff status, currently set at 25%. "This development highlights Malaysia's diminishing competitive edge in regional trade, particularly against Vietnam and Indonesia,' he told Bernama. Mohd Sedek also said market jitters intensified over US President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on the European Union (EU) and Mexico, stoking concerns that such measures could rekindle inflationary pressures following the stronger consumer price index (CPI) readings. "US headline CPI accelerated to 2.7 per cent year-on-year in June, up from 2.4 per cent in May, prompting investors to reassess expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. "A steady flow of negative tariff headlines, coupled with waning hopes for near-term monetary easing in the US, continued to weigh on risk sentiment,' he added. Among the heavyweight counters, Maybank fell 12 sen to RM9.53, Public Bank slipped three sen to RM4.23, Tenaga Nasional shed 22 sen to RM13.68, CIMB lost 13 sen to RM6.50 and IHH Healthcare dropped six sen to RM6.52.

Tan Chong Motor hits near one-year high, gets UMA query from Bursa

TAN Chong Motor Holdings Bhd has been slapped with an unusual market activity (UMA) query by Bursa Malaysia Securities after its share price soared to its highest level in nearly a year. The stock jumped as much as 25.5 sen or 44% to an intraday high of 83.5 sen today before closing at 79 sen, up 21 sen or 36% for the day, with over 29.6 million shares traded. It was among the top gainers and most actively traded counters on Bursa Malaysia. At the closing price, Tan Chong Motor is valued at RM530.88 million. In its query, Bursa asked the Nissan distributor to clarify whether there are any unannounced corporate developments, negotiations, rumours or reports that could explain the unusual trading activity. The company is also required to confirm compliance with disclosure obligations under listing rules. Last week, Tan Chong announced that its wholly owned unit Tanahku Holding Sdn Bhd is disposing of a 3.194-acre land parcel on Jalan Putra to Avaland Bhd for RM148.8 million. The group said proceeds will be used for working capital and future business opportunities. –TMR
