Prime Markets in The Press - Capital Shopping Centres Group (CSCG)

31/10/2011

While Prime Markets has highlighted Capital Shopping Centres Group's (CSCG) strong third quarter, the broker recommends to "sell into strength", saying that it sees no upside to the current share price.

"CSCG has delivered a remarkably resilient performance given the sovereign debt crises, the general malaise and lack of visibility across Europe and the wider global economy," said the head of dealing at Prime Markets, Richard Curr.

The FTSE 100 real estate investment trust which specialises in regional shopping centres, saw no increase in footfall in the three months to the end of October compared to the equivalent period of 2010, but said that occupancy levels remained strong at 97%.

"The 97% occupancy rate shows that CSCG is operating at close to optimum levels, but with management pointing to a low growth environment, a challenging retail market and a restricted financing market for real estate hampering progress for some time to come, there is every indication that the shares have gone as far as they can for now," Curr said.

Prime Markets' target price for the stock is 309p.
