- Estimated total portfolio value decreased by $24 million, or 0.2%, in the six months to 30 June 2026
- Office portfolio value decreased by 0.4% due to higher capitalisation and discount rates

- Weighted average capitalisation rate: 6.22% for office, 5.58% for industrial, and 6.06% total
What else do investors need to know?
Dexus noted that market rental growth contributed positively to valuations, especially in the industrial sector, which offset some pressure from increasing capitalisation rates in the office portfolio. Marginally softer capitalisation rates affected both asset classes, but fundamentals are helping to steady results. Valuation specifics and any further commentary on individual assets will be provided with Dexus's FY26 results on 20 August 2026. These updated values do not include Dexus's retail assets, and figures are subject to change on finalisation.
What did Dexus management say?
Dexus Group CEO and Managing Director Ross Du Vernet said:
The valuations reflect a stabilising market that is being driven by fundamentals. Capitalisation rates were slightly softer in both the office and industrial portfolios, with rental growth and capex assumptions generally driving valuation outcomes across the stabilised portfolios.
What's next for Dexus?
Dexus's formal FY26 results will land on 20 August 2026; this will contain further detail on each property's valuation and outlook for the business. The company remains focused on its real estate development pipeline and leveraging its diverse asset base to unlock further value and deliver long-term growth for investors. As market conditions continue to evolve, Dexus's integrated platform and experienced management team are positioning it to navigate trends in office and industrial property, with an eye on sustainability and future opportunities.
