5i Research Answer:
Its small size adds some risk, but its business (shopping centres anchored by grocery stores) is generally stable. It is not that cheap for the sector at 13X cash flow. The distribution has not been raised since 2019 and we would not expect big growth here. Payout ratio is 102.7% on an adjusted basis so we cannot say the distribution is 100% safe. Occupance is decent and stable at 94%. We would consider it OK but not overly attractive.
