DXS continues to progress with its divestment program, exceeding $2bn
target for FY25-FY27
CITI'S TAKE Neutral
Price (27 Jul 26 16:00) A$5.73 Dexus Group announced the divestment of 3 wholly-owned office
Target price A$6.50 properties in Sydney and Brisbane, generating $715mn, putting it ahead of
its FY25-FY27 divestment target of $2bn. DXS already secured $1.4bn of Expected share price return 13.4%
divestments out of its target $2bn by Dec-2025 and today's divestments Expected dividend yield 6.4%
demonstrate its strong focus on execution. The 3 divestments announced Expected total return 19.8%
today for 30-34 Hickson Road & 36 Hickson Road, Sydney, and 123 Albert Market Cap A$6,146M
Street, Brisbane were done at par to June-26 book value, and ~4% US$4,290M
discount to Dec-25 valuations. Settlement is expected in Oct-26, and sale
proceeds are expected to reduce DXS pro-forma gearing by 2% on
realisation. While we continue to remain cautious of the office sector and
DXS, given short term headwinds on APAC related losses and elevated Australian Real Estate Team
finance costs, this update is relatively positive in our view. With DXS
