Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Australian shopping centers are in better shape than their counterparts in the United States, due to lower retail space per person, and greater exposure to non-discretionary spending.

Bears

Rents are much higher than for convenience focused centers, and high end consumer goods are at risk from online competition.

Company Profile

Scentre Group owns the largest portfolio of premium Australian and New Zealand shopping malls, owning seven of the top 10 Australian and four of the top five New Zealand malls. About half its rent comes from anchor tenants and half from specialty tenants at end-June 2024. While about one third of floor space is allocated to department stores at that date, we expect tenants to return a reasonable portion of that space over the next decade, or alternatively, department store rent to be renegotiated to lower levels. Almost every Scentre mall is anchored by at least one supermarket but these tenants accounts for less than 10% of gross lettable area due to the large size of Scentre’s assets.
