Dexus (ASX: DXS), on 6 July 2026, announced that its 1751 assets, consisting of 27 office properties and 148 industrial properties, were externally valued as at 30 June 2026. The draft external independent valuations indicate an estimated decrease of approximately circa $24 million across the stabilised portfolio and development assets for the six months ended 30 June 2026.
The office portfolio recorded an approximate circa 0.4% decline in value, primarily due to marginal increases in capitalisation and discount rates, which were partially offset by market rental growth. Additionally, growth in industrial portfolio was circa 0.5% supported by slightly firmer discount rate and market rental growth, with the gains partially offset by a marginal increase in the capitalisation rate.
On 23 June 2026, Dexus announced an approximate distribution of 17.7 cents per security. The company also released its March 2026 Quarter Update and Macquarie Australia Conference Presentation on 5 May 2026, reporting that office portfolio occupancy increased to 93.1%, driven by strong leasing activity in Melbourne and Sydney.
The company secured c.$1.75 billion in third-party equity commitments from domestic and offshore investors since FY25, which includes $670 million since HY26, reflecting renewed broad-based investor interest in high-quality core real estate.
Following 31 March 2026, Dexus secured an agreement with Boral providing capital efficient access to a long dated development pipeline, subject to rezoning and business plan approvals, with the potential to deliver approximately 2.5 million square metres of lettable area. The company's Net Tangible Assets per security was $8.95 for 31 December 2025.
Outlook:
Dexus expects AFFO of 44.5–45.5 cents per security and distributions of 37.0 cents per security for the 12 months ended 30 June 2026. FY27 will be a more challenging year due to immaterial contribution from trading profits and performance fees. The company’s multi year strategy is to create a more diversified and capital efficient business is progressing, while maintaining its expectation that high quality, well located assets will continue to outperform in the current market environment.
