Scentre Gets New Bear After Stock Picks Up From End-March Low -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-02

0009 GMT - Scentre gets a new bear in Macquarie after the mall owner's shares rallied more than 10% from a low reached at end-March. Macquarie says the stock now trades at a 9.3% premium to pro-forma net tangible assets of A$3.45. When separating out the highest-quality malls, Macquarie concludes that Scentre's rump portfolio is at a higher risk of asset devaluations. "We assume 44-69 basis points of capitalization rate expansion," Macquarie says of the rump portfolio. "Combined with income growth of 4.0-4.5% (this) equates to an average 4.9% decline in asset value." Macquarie downgrades Scentre to underperform from neutral, taking the view that its earnings momentum is priced in. Scentre is down 4.1% at A$3.615. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
