0745 GMT - Prologis is interested in Segro's pipeline and its value-creation potential, and unlikely to walk away from a takeover of the real-estate investment trust, Bernstein analysts say. Its current bid of 9.25 pounds a share is unlikely to succeed as Segro appears to be seeking closer to 12 pounds a share, they say. However, Bernstein expects Prologis to remain disciplined on valuation. Segro's development pipeline and data-center strategy should help underpin investor confidence, Bernstein says. Under U.K. takeover rules, Prologis has until July 22 to make a formal offer or walk away. "With Prologis due to report its 1H results on July 16, we believe a decision could come sooner than the formal deadline," Bernstein says. Segro shares are up 0.2% at 8.66 pounds.
