Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Campus Crest Communities (NYSE: CCG) price target of $13.00.

Analyst, Ross L. Smotrich, noted that Campus Crest's Q2 results were in-line with expectations.

Smotrich said, "CCG trades at an 8.0% implied nominal cap rate, versus American Campus Communities (NYSE: ACC) at 5.2% and Education Realty Trust (NYSE: EDR) at 6.6%. In our view, this discount is the result of the company's reliance on forward equity issuance to fund expansion and at the same time maintain targeted leverage levels, its portfolio characteristics, and its relatively high G&A load. As the company grows, we think that these risks will dissipate somewhat."

Barclays lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $0.77 to $0.74 and FY13 from $0.90 to $0.87.
