CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) reported a higher distribution per unit (DPU) of S$0.0602 for its first half ended June 30, representing a 7.1% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by improved operating performance and reduced interest expenses, despite an increased unit base following a private placement in April.

The DPU growth resulted in a 13.3% rise in distributable income to S$466.7 million, while net property income increased by 8.7% to S$630.5 million. CICT's shares rose by 2%, closing S$0.05 higher at S$2.51 on Tuesday.

Frasers Property announced that it will seek shareholder approval to optimize the portfolio of Frasers Hospitality Trust during an extraordinary general meeting on August 28. This move is part of the group's strategy to unlock capital from stabilized assets and refine its hospitality approach. The company's unrecognised residential revenue across Singapore, Australia, Thailand, and China stood at approximately S$1 billion as of end-June, a decline from S$1.4 billion a year earlier. Frasers Property's shares remained unchanged at S$1.05 prior to the news.
