About this update from Property For Industry Limited

Property for Industry's upgraded dividend guidance doesn't impress Forsyth Barr much. PFI raises its payout outlook for FY 2026 by around 5% to 9.50 New Zealand cents/share, from prior guidance of at least 9.05 cents. Analyst Rohan Koreman-Smit says this is the fifth upgrade since PFI reported earnings in February 2025. "However, this increase to guidance is driven by lower maintenance capex and tenant incentives rather than net rental income growth," Forsyth Barr says. "As such, we view it as lower quality, particularly given the lower capex will likely be deferred until later years." Forsyth Barr views the announcement as incrementally positive. It retains a neutral call and NZ$2.60/share price target on PFI, which is up 0.4% to NZ$2.39 today. ([email protected]; @dwinningWSJ)
