0227 GMT - Mapletree Industrial Trust's appointment a new chief executive of the manager will likely sharpen its focus on so-called hyperscaler data centers, given the incoming head's current role within the Singapore REIT's sponsor, Citi analyst Brandon Lee says in a note. Anand Tze Ming Chandran, Mapletree Investments' head of data centers for Asia-Pacific, will be the REIT manager's new CEO from October. His experience suggests the REIT is likely to look into data-center acquisition opportunities in Asia and Europe, which currently account for 11% and none, respectively, of its assets under management, says Lee. Citi retains its buy rating and 2.16 Singapore dollar target price on Mapletree Industrial. Units gain 0.5% to S$1.93.
