Company <\/a><\/strong>The sector <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amlak.net.sa\/en\/102906\/\">Real Estate Investment Trusts <\/a><\/strong>Real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Saudi Arabia continue to solidify their investment appeal as one of the leading income-generating assets, supported by improved dividend yields and lower valuations compared to global markets.<br>In a recent report, the company explained that the average dividend yield in the sector rose to 5.7% in 2025, with expectations that it will rise to 5.8% in 2026, further widening the positive spread compared to the CIBOR rate, which has declined to 5.2% since the beginning of the year.<br>She explained that assessing the attractiveness of REITs depends on several criteria, including expected dividend yields, the implied capital return rate, debt metrics, and relative valuation, noting that the top five funds according to the weighted ranking are: Bonyan REIT, Al-Inmaa Hotel REIT, Al-Muathar REIT, Al-Inmaa Retail REIT, and Al-Ahli REIT 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al Jazeera Capital projected that 9 out of 19 publicly traded real estate funds will see an increase in distribution yields in 2026 compared to 2025, supported by improved financial performance, while 13 funds are expected to record yields exceeding 6.5%.According to the report, Al-Inmaa Retail REIT, Bonyan REIT, Al-Inmaa Hotel REIT, and Al-Ahli REIT 1 are expected to top the list of highest projected yields at 7.92%, 7.89%, 7.86%, and 7.75%, respectively.<br>The company added that Saudi REITs have proven their ability to serve as hedging assets amid global economic uncertainty, as investors increasingly turn to assets that provide a steady income, despite ongoing pressures resulting from rising interest rates and rent freezes in Riyadh.<br><br><strong>Factors That Strengthen the Position of Saudi REITs<\/strong><br>She noted that the significant discounts currently available in the sector, along with regulatory reforms such as the elimination of the Qualified Foreign Investor framework and the authorization of investment in the Holy Cities, reinforce the position of Saudi REITs as a low-risk entry point for real estate growth in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, Saudi REITs continue to outperform global indices such as the Morgan Stanley and U.S. real estate investment trusts, by a margin ranging between 200 and 300 basis points, supported by stable domestic liquidity and a decline in the 6-month SAIBOR rate to 5.2% after reaching 5.8% in 2024.<br>The report also noted that the sector is currently trading at a price-to-book ratio of 0.8, at a discount of 14% to its five-year historical average, while the discount on the price-to-earnings ratio stands at approximately 53% compared to historical averages, which reflects that most economic risks are already priced into current unit prices and reinforces the likelihood of a sector revaluation as macroeconomic conditions improve and interest rates trend downward.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\"
