(CercleFinance.com) - This morning Credit suisse initiated its coverage of the stock of the UK property logistics group Segro with a buy rating ("outperformance").
The broker has a target price of 745 pence for the share, meaning upside potential of around 14%.
"Segro adds the attractive industrial & logistics sector to our existing coverage," the broker's report says. According to Credit suisse, the logistics segment has outperformed the rest of the property market over recent years, due to the soaring growth in e-commerce.
