Picked up a parcel of DLT at 40 cents, reckoning the property recovery eventually comes and the dividend yield at these levels justifies the hold even if distribution stays patchy near term.

DLT down 8% today to 44c. Are we overreacting to sector headwinds or is there something in the numbers that justifies this pullback? Anyone been through the latest financials to see if the dividend's still safe.
Government tenant base keeps the distributions stable even when the economy tanks, which is why i'm holding. DLT at R0.45 is cheap compared to what Redefine was trading at before their reset. Long-term view hasn't changed.
do you think government actually paying rent on time keeps mattering if the fund itself isnt generating anything. r0.45 is pretty cheap but whats the actual distribution looking like these days. not sure about this one unless they pivot hard.
government tenant base is holding but distributions are getting squeezed hard with rates where they are. been in since R1.20s so R0.45 stings but long-term view hasn't changed, these lease agreements don't disappear overnight. inflation very high still and that's eating into the fund's margins, similar pressure on other reits. i'll keep holding as long as it takes.
dlt getting hammered because govt ain't paying rent on time, that's the real story. most reits can handle a missed month but when you're 80 percent govt tenants and they're broke it's a problem. compare that to nepi or other diversified plays, way safer. honestly if they sort the arrears it's a long term hold at these levels but that's a big if.
Took the dip on DLT at 44c, figures show the dividend yield is still respectable even after today's 4.35% knock, so holding for the recovery.
DLT AT R0.44 IS CRIMINAL WHEN GOVERNMENT TENANTS LOCK IN LONG TERM RENTS!! LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO NEPI WHEN THEY HAD STABLE ANCHOR TENANTS, THIS THING COULD EASILY HIT R2+ IN 2 YEARS!! PEOPLE SELLING ARE IDIOTS, BEST IS YET TO COME!!
Government lease book is the anchor here. Sitting on R0.44 and yeah the yield looks decent on paper but you're betting on SA property staying relevant and tenants actually paying. Similar setup to Redefine back in the day before the rot set in. Long-term view hasn't changed, just need the fund to actually maintain those occupancy rates.
DLT at R0.44 is basically giving away government-backed property at a discount. Yields are fat on these long-term leases, but the market keeps pricing in load-shedding doom. If they keep the tenant base solid and distributions hold, could be a sleeper for income guys.
after reading the latest MD&A the government tenant concentration is actually a feature not a bug, those lease lengths are ridiculous compared to what retail REITs are dealing with. yield's sitting pretty at where it is and the distribution cover looks solid. my reading of this is you're buying a boring income stream that won't blow up in load-shedding chaos like the others.
Government property exposure is a tough slog but DLT's lease terms lock in cash flow for years, which beats chasing commercial tenants who fold when the economy stumbles. At R0.37 you're getting a yield play on assets most funds won't touch, and that's where the margin of safety sits. Comparison to Redefine or Stor-Age doesn't work because those guys are dealing with retail and logistics volatility, whereas DLT's got the state as counterparty, which is boring but reliable.
govt tenant reit's like dlt are meant to be boring and steady, not sexy. at r0.37 the yield's worth a look if you've got patience. comparable offshore names trade way higher on similar lease security. long-term view hasn't changed, government's not going anywhere.
DLT's yield is still decent if govt tenants actually pay their rent, which is the whole bet. Sub R0.50 feels like fair value for a fund that's basically betting SA doesn't completely fall apart in the next decade.
DLT closed at R0.35 but government tenant base gives this real stability vs the volatility you see elsewhere. Yields are solid if they can keep those lease renewals rolling, dividend story is there if they don't choke on refinancing. Long game play but not a meme stock.
govt tenants pay rent or they don't, that's the whole play innit. at r0.35 the yield starts to look less tragic than it did. question is whether sa property actually recovers or we just bag hold for divs. ngl the debt levels worry me more than the tenant quality.
DLT AT R0.35 IS A GIFT!! GOVERNMENT TENANTS DONT LEAVE, THATS STABLE INCOME FOREVER!! LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO NEPI AND ARCP WHEN THEY HAD SOLID ANCHORS, THIS THING RUNS TO R1.50 EASY!! LFG!!
Volume spike today, 2.1m shares. Highest in 6 months. Something brewing or just retail hype.
