Life Science REIT plc (LSE:LABS) has released an update on both its ongoing strategic review and recent trading performance. The company reported strong interest from prospective buyers as it continues to explore options aimed at maximizing value for shareholders. While its unaudited EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) declined by 10.9% amid broader market challenges, the firm has maintained the backing of its banking partners, even in light of a minor covenant breach.
Operationally, recent leasing efforts have yielded positive results, driving up both occupancy levels and contracted rental income. In addition, a redesign of facilities at Oxford Technology Park is underway, intended to better meet tenant demand and unlock higher rental yields.
Despite ongoing financial headwinds—such as weak profitability and negative cash flow—the company’s technical outlook shows promise, with indicators suggesting potential for stock recovery. Strategic milestones and increased investor engagement further signal cautious optimism moving forward.
