Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE: OFC) price target of $21.00.

Analyst, Omotayo Okusanya, said, "We believe continued asset sales by OFC as part of its Strategic Repositioning Plan will go a long way towards improving the balance sheet and repositioning the company for future growth. In the near-term however, dilution from this effort, and weak fundamentals will stunt FFO/sh growth until at least 2014."

FY EPS estimate lowered from $2.04 to $2.00
