Summary · why it matters

Daisuke Kanda of IB Research analyzed the latest trends in the J-REIT market and earnings forecasts as of the first half of 2026 results. In August, J-REIT prices moved in a box range, with the Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index hitting a year-to-date high of 1,912 points on July 29, before falling to 1,818 points on August 3. The US 10-year Treasury yield remained high at 4.6% to 4.8%, and the Japanese 10-year government bond yield stayed elevated at 2.8% to 2.9%, with expectations of a rate hike in September strengthening investor caution. Additionally, Healthcare & Medical Investment Corporation (HCM) announced a capital increase on August 19, the first in five and a half years, and its price fell more than 5% from 103,000 yen on the announcement date to 97,600 yen as of August 26. In earnings forecasts, distributions are expected to increase by 0.2% year-on-year for the current period (second half of 2026), but decrease by 1.7% for the next period (first half of 2027), with the main reason for the cut being the loss of gains from property sales. As more funds set growth targets for cruising distributions excluding sales gains, the analyst points out that distribution growth to investors becomes more important amid rising long-term interest rates.
