Outlook

Naya Nazimabad Apartment REIT enters the new financial year with a stronger asset base, higher net asset value per unit and significantly improved operating cash generation. However, the decline in annual profit and earnings per unit remains an important factor for investors to monitor.

With no cash dividend or other entitlement announced for FY2026, investor attention is likely to remain focused on the REIT’s ability to generate sustainable income from its property portfolio and convert its growing asset base into stronger recurring returns.

Overall, the FY2026 results present a mixed picture: profitability declined, but assets, net asset value and operating cash flows showed meaningful improvement.
