A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's
top-ranked* analysts:
** Goldman Sachs ups Gecina GFCP.PA to "buy" and LEG
Immobilien LEGn.DE to "neutral" as part of "select
indiosyncratic changes" it makes in a sector note on European
real estate, as it sees an improving macro backdrop for the
sector after interest rates and credit spreads broadly decreased
since the fall
** Exane BNP Paribas ups Dassault Aviation AM.PA to
"outperform" from "neutral" as it says the Rafale jet fighter
maker's Thales stake and growing net cash position are enough to
justify the current share price
** UBS cuts Inditex ITX.MC to "neutral" from "buy", saying
the Zara-owner's shares are fairly valued despite its "superior
model"
(*Analyst rankings from Thomson Reuters StarMine. The scale is
