0627 GMT - CapitaLand Ascendas REIT's latest earnings bode ill for share price, but the company still looks like a buy, Citi Research analyst Brandon Lee writes in a research note. The REIT's 2H earnings came in just short of expectations, with Singapore's performance offsetting weakness in the U.S. and the impact of higher debt costs and an expanded share base, Lee writes. Still, he maintains a buy rating and thinks the stock could rise to his target price of S$3.02. Units are 1.4% higher at S$2.90, in line with gains in other Singapore-based REITs.
