Tritax valuation gains slow

The industrial developer and landlord said there could be some hesitancy among companies committing to new developments
March 18, 2020

Tritax Big Box (BBOX) reported a reduced underlying total return of 5.8 per cent for 2019, due to a much lower revaluation uplift for its portfolio of logistics assets. That was despite increasing the annual dividend payment 2.2 per cent. 

IC TIP: Hold at 91p

The group achieved planning consents across 2.6m sq/ft of strategic land sites and 3.2 million sq/ft of logistics assets under construction, of which 92 per cent was pre-let. Management said the economic turmoil resulting from the outbreak of Covid-19 could temporarily weigh on tenants' willingness to commit to pre-lets.
