To put things into perspective, this is not the first time that Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) share price went into the correction territory. Despite being an S-REIT, institutional investors view this counter as a technology stock.

In my blog, I have always stressed that what goes up must surely come down. The spectacular rise of Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) share price, partly driven by the digitization shift among companies, was simply not sustainable.

I do not think that the Us stimulus will cause the market to overheat and leads to interest rate hikes in the short term.

The recent drop in Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) share price was largely attributed to the broad market sentiments on the valuations of technology stocks. And we all know that short-term market sentiments can be irrational at times.

Based on the $0.0917 full-year DPU of FY2020, the distribution yield is about 3.6% (at the point of writing), which is quite decent in my point of view.
