Highlights

Arena REIT’s portfolio valuation rises by $18 million

FY25 distribution climbs 4.8% to 18.25 cents per share

Demand in early education and healthcare supports asset stability

Arena REIT (ASX:ARF), an established player in the Australian real estate investment sector, has announced a valuation uplift of $18 million in its property portfolio for the six-month period ending 30 June 2025. This reflects a 1% increase from 31 December 2024, highlighting steady momentum amid ongoing sectoral strength.

The portfolio review encompassed 58 properties—55 early learning centres and three healthcare assets. These valuations were conducted independently as part of the trust’s structured review cycle. The assessment reaffirms Arena's positioning in socially critical infrastructure, specifically early education and healthcare sectors, which continue to show resilience and growth potential.

In its latest market update, Arena confirmed a final quarter distribution of 4.5625 cents per share, bringing the total distribution for FY25 to 18.25 cents. This marks a 4.8% increase over the previous financial year, aligning with the trust’s commitment to delivering consistent and inflation-aligned returns to investors.

Shares of Arena REIT edged up by 0.3% to $3.85 as of 12:25pm AEST following the announcement, reflecting a positive investor response to the valuation and distribution update.

Notably, Arena highlighted the ongoing support from macroeconomic trends, particularly in the Australian childcare sector. Increased female workforce participation and rising long day care enrolment rates continue to bolster demand for early learning centres. Additionally, Arena’s healthcare and community-based accommodation assets remain in line with management’s performance expectations, offering a degree of defensive stability in a fluctuating economic environment.

As investors maintain a close watch on interest rate trends and inflation movements, Arena’s solid fundamentals and socially oriented asset base may continue to offer a dependable source of income and capital stability within the ASX property landscape.
