Bernstein downgrades CTP, sees early signs of moderation
BUZZ-Bernstein downgrades CTP, sees early signs of moderation ** Bernstein downgrades European industrial real estate developer CTP CTPNV.AS to "market-perform" from "outperform" as it sees its development engine shows early signs of moderation
** The brokerage says the firm is increasingly a "victim of its own success" as maintaining historical expansion rates requires ever-greater delivery volumes and absorption
** Bernstein adds that the group's speculative development model introduces significant uncertainty regarding annual completion volumes as projects adjust to tenant demand
** The brokerage also notes that the recent strategic expansion into Vietnam offers a relatively thin risk premium that may not fully compensate for the additional risks
** Up to the previous session's close, shares were down 15% YTD
** Out of 19 analysts that cover Ctp NV, 18 rate the stock "strong buy" or "buy,"one analyst rates "hold" andno analysts rate the stock "strong sell" or "sell" - LSEG data
