Why AREIT Share Price is Going Down

Despite AREIT, Inc. reporting robust third-quarter revenues, its shares dipped last week due to investor concerns over high borrowing costs. According to Business World, between November 20 and 24, 32.845 million AREIT shares, valued at P985.603 million, were traded, making it the fourth most actively traded stock.

Closing at P29.20 per share on the previous Friday, AREIT shares saw an 8.8% drop from P32 per share on November 17. The stock has fallen 17.5% since December 29, 2022. Despite a positive 51.3% net income increase to P1.23 billion in Q3, investors are cautious due to factors like BSP rate hikes impacting real estate investment trusts.

Analysts predict a continued downward trend for AREIT. A P6.8-billion property-for-share swap with ACEN Corp., approved on November 17, initially caused a decline. However, analysts view this diversification as a strategic move for long-term resilience.

As reported by Business World, analysts anticipate a downward trend for AREIT. They predict a Q4 net loss of P989 million due to slow economic growth affecting the real estate industry. With rising office vacancies and support and resistance levels set at P29 and P31, and P29 and P33, respectively, for the week, analysts foresee challenges. Despite this, there remains optimism about AREIT's strategic location, expecting attractive rental returns to boost earnings and dividends, with a forecasted full-year net income of P4.4 billion.
