As stock investors (even though a small one), it is important to keep abreast with the latest financial and market news. Since I am in it, I thought it might be worthwhile to share it out with my readers too.
Hence, I started this "Market News In 2 Minutes" series.
Following are the "Market News In 2 Minutes" for today :
1. REITS : Lippo Malls Indonesia Retail Trust (D5IU) - Posted a 5.7 percent gain in net property income to $32.9 million for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2014, on the back of higher gross rental income that was helped by positive rental reversions. Subsequently, total unitholders’ distribution gained 27.4 percent to $17.6 million. For the full year, net property income sank 12.1 percent to $126 million mainly due to translation losses that has caused revenue to take a hit, while total unitholders’ distribution fell 6.9 percent to $68 million. The trust has declared a distribution per unit of $0.0071. (Source : Shares Investment)
