2300 GMT - HomeCo Daily Needs REIT's balance sheet is a key focus of Macquarie. HomeCo Daily Needs REIT highlighted A$400 million-A$500 million of offers for assets around or above book value. That suggests substantial embedded liquidity within the portfolio, Macquarie says. HomeCo Daily Needs REIT's gearing is at 35.7%. It would prefer balance sheet leverage to trend closer to 30% via valuation growth and selective asset sales, Macquarie says. At the same time, HomeCo Daily Needs REIT retains a sizeable development opportunity, with A$650 million of identified projects delivering targeted returns more than 7%. "The challenge remains balancing deleveraging against reinvestment opportunities while the stock trades at a material discount to net tangible assets," Macquarie says. It has a "neutral" call on HomeCo Daily Needs REIT.
