Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW) released its FY 2018 results today and here are the highlights:

  • FY 18 Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Distributions Per Share (DPS) of 26.4 cents (a 3.9% annual growth)
  • Net Tangible Assets increased to $4.05 per unit
  • Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE) of 10.8 years
  • 100% occupancy

The REIT's distributions are at an effective 6.2% yield to its current share price of $4.25 which is higher than some of its peers.

Its longer WALE also provides investors with more certainty but perhaps less upside compared to other REITs such as Mirvac Group (ASX: MGR), GPT Group (ASX: GPT) and DEXUS Property Group (ASX: DXS).

Despite its high yield, Charter Hall Long WALE REIT is not our number 1 dividend pick. Read this FREE REPORT to find out more on our #1 dividend share recommendation now.
