Parkway Life REIT

What Parkway Life REIT does

Parkway Life REIT is a Singapore-listed Real Estate Investment Trust (SGX: C2PU) that acquires, owns, and leases healthcare real estate across three markets. Established in 2007 and managed by Parkway Trust Management Limited, with IHH Healthcare as sponsor, the trust operates as a passive landlord generating rental income through long-term leases with healthcare operators. Its portfolio consists of three Singapore private hospitals (Mount Elizabeth, Gleneagles, Parkway East) leased to IHH Healthcare, a Japan nursing home portfolio concentrated in Osaka, and a France nursing home portfolio of 11 properties acquired in December 2024.

The REIT completed the S$350 million Project Renaissance rejuvenation of Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Q1 2026 and operates a Sustainable Financing Framework supporting green bond and social loan issuance. FY2025 gross revenue reached S$156.3 million (+7.6% YoY), with FY2025 DPU of S$0.1529 (+2.5% YoY) and Q1 2026 DPU of S$0.0442 (+15.1% YoY). The capital structure is conservative, with gearing of 33.4-34.2%, all-in cost of debt of 1.59%, interest coverage of 8.6x, and a 43% payout ratio. Forward dividend yield is approximately 4.3% at the S$4.11 stock price, with a 350 basis point spread over the 10-year Singapore government bond yield.

Distribution is the only product sold, paid quarterly to unitholders. The REIT's customer base consists of healthcare operators (IHH Healthcare as anchor tenant in Singapore, plus various nursing home operators in Japan and France). The unit-base is drawn from income-focused institutional and retail investors seeking defensive exposure to Singapore's agingpopulation demographic tailwinds. Analyst coverage from OCBC (S$4.80 target) and DBS (S$4.44 target) supports a moderately constructive view.
