KUALA LUMPUR (April 26): Axis Real Estate Investment Trust’s (REIT) net property income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 (1QFY17) came in at RM37.17 million, an increase of 4.18% year-on-year from RM35.68 million.
It has proposed a first interim distribution per unit of 2.15 sen.

Axis REIT closed unchanged at RM1.65 yesterday, giving it a market capitalisation of RM1.82 billion. — theedgemarkets.com
