In a report published Monday, Credit Suisse analyst George Auerbach upgraded the rating on
Eastgroup Properties IncEGP
from Underperform to Neutral, and reiterated the $69.00 price target. In the report, Credit Suisse noted, “We are upgrading EastGroup to Neutral from Underperform as the stock's recent underperformance (-7.3% since the start of November, or -850bp vs. the RMS Index) leaves the shares fairly valued relative to our $69 price target. Based on our PT we expect an 11% total return for EGP over the next twelve months compared to 9% for our coverage group, making a Neutral rating more appropriate. At ~$64/share the company now trades at a slight discount to our $65.50 NAV. In our view, EastGroup is a solid company with one of the more attractive development platforms, management teams, and balance sheets in the Industrial sector.” Eastgroup Properties closed on Friday at $64.45.
