The formation of Islamic capital market under the subcomponent of Islamic financial system scratch a milestones development of Islamic finance in Malaysia. The Islamic capital market operates in mirror with convention capital market in expending, deepening and broadening Malaysia financial system. Malaysia is one of the REIT markets that value both the Islamic and conventional practices, such flexibility makes the attract not only to the local investor but also Islamic investors and foreign investor. The major source that generates income for REIT is the rental of the commercial real estate invested and hold as portfolio by the REIT management company. Furthermore, Malaysia REIT is known to be defensive stocks which consist of cyclic income producing assets that has some potential of asset appreciation. On the other hand, it witnessed by the moderation of Malaysia government bond yields created a lower pressure on the REIT stock price and analyst’s report highlighted the uncertainties on global crude oil prices and inflation is main concerned to REIT investors. In addition, the revision of 2019 tax system in Malaysia furnished a long run affected the dividend payout and volatility of REIT stock price. Therefore, this impact on the REIT stock liquidity and trading volume experiencing anil liquid trading. Therefore, the impact of external forces towards the mirror of two type of Malaysia REITs is significant to the investors, policy makers and government to outline the short-run relationship and facilitate future growth. The Vector auto regression model, granger causality and variance decomposition employed in this study to analyze the mirror of two types Malaysia REIT stock return. The empirical finding shows that the variability of dividend yield is vital explanatory variables to explain the both type of REIT stock return in Malaysia followed by interest rate for Islamic REIT stock return. The mirror of conventional REIT further implicated that trading volume and global crude oil price are useful to forecasting the changes in the stock return. Nutshell, this study provides a discussion of Malaysia REIT stock return behavior and it should be given necessary attention by researchers in ensuring the newly develop Islamic REIT are competitive and stability as the conventional REIT.

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the corporate rent-vs-buy decision on real estate through the trade-off theory and default option in the framework of a corporation that aims to optimise its capital structure. Design/methodology/approach The methodological core of this paper comprises the trade-off theory that approaches the optimal capital structure by counterbalancing debt tax savings with bankruptcy costs. Impacts on the default option and the default barrier are made explicit. The paper also explores the practical applicability of the renting scenarios in the European context by examining the regimes of real estate investment trusts in different countries from the demand-side of commercial renting. Findings Analytical relationships with tax savings, bankruptcy costs, default option and default barrier are identified for the renting-vs-buying real estate decisions. Research limitations/implications The theoretical model assumes simplifications, such as constant debt, to make it operational. The paper centres exclusively on the trade-off capital structure theory. Practical implications This paper is an analysis of corporate real estate decisions together with capital structure. Applications are not only quantitative but also conceptual and strategic. Originality/value Identifying the main variables that govern the impact of corporate real estate decisions on capital structure and interweaving different approaches generates a conceptual framework that enlightens strategic thinking in this field.

Although real estate resources represent a high percentage of the corporate assets of non-property companies, their future role is unclear. Longevity and difficulty in revising property-related decisions clash under dynamically changing environmental conditions. This makes it necessary to consider the ownership strategy and its altering role in order to avoid inefficiencies and not to hinder companies in mastering structural change successfully. In a first step, data from a telephone company survey (CATI) among 69 corporate real estate managers of German companies are grouped by performing a two-step cluster analysis according to the degree to which they are affected by structural change. The resulting clusters are then tested regarding differences in their ownership strategy. The empirical analysis shows that firms highly affected by structural change exhibit a higher willingness to decrease the proportion of ownership. The decline in real estate assets is particularly evident in the office segment and in increased acceptance of sale-and-rent-back solutions. First hints show that structural change and associated new business requirements change the relevance of CRE ownership. To avoid competitive disadvantages, especially European firms should scrutinize their high ownership ratios.

This study examined the usefulness of the cash-based interest coverage ratio (CICR). It also verified the usefulness of accrual-based interest coverage ratio (AICR), which is used as a criterion for exiting insolvent companies. This paper analyzed whether the value relevance of earnings to stock price differs according to various interest coverage ratios. The CICR is measured by dividing the cash generated from operations by the interest payments. AICR is measured by operating income divided by interest expenses. The research model for the hypothesis test of this study is based on the Ohlson model, which has been used for the test of stock value relevance in many previous studies. As a result of the empirical analysis, the CICR is used as useful information by the investors in the capital market. CICR is used as useful information in the capital market as an indicator of sustainability of profits. This study suggests that supervisors and financial institutions can make rational decision-making if they consider AICR and CICR as criteria for exiting insolvent companies. The contribution of this study was to suggest that the CICR can be a useful indicator for determining whether a company is insolvent due to its relatively low forecast error and high predictability.

This paper attempts to study the relationships among corporate real estate (CRE), capital structure and stock performance of China¡¦s non-real estate firms, including the bidirectional relationships between debt ratio (DR) and corporate real estate ratio (CRER), the impact of CRER on stock performance, and whether this impact differs across firms with different debt levels. The results show that for the overall sample, DR has a positive effect on CRER, while CRER negatively affects DR. CRER has no significant positive impact on the abnormal returns of stocks, and even decreases those for firms in the information industry. However, it can significantly reduce the systematic risks of stock returns. Moreover, we find that CRER has no significant effect on abnormal returns regardless of the amount of debt level that a firm has, and there is no significant difference between the effects of CRER on abnormal returns for firms with different levels of debt. On the other hand, the effect of CRER on systematic risk is significantly negative for firms in the low debt group, and insignificantly positive for firms in the high debt group. The CRER of lower debt firms can significantly reduce much more systematic risk than that of the high debt firms.
