KeyBanc reiterates a 'Buy' on Education Realty Trust (NYSE: EDR) price target raised from $11.00 to $11.50.

Analyst, Karin A. Ford, said, "We expect the stock of EDR to perform well following a positive 4Q11 earnings report that likely modestly exceeded expectations. 4Q11 "core" FFOM of $0.14/share met consensus. But, 2012 FFOM guidance of $0.46-$0.51 was 3.2% above consensus at the midpoint. Impressive 2012 SSNOI guidance of 6-9% exceeded our forecast. Additionally, early 2012/2013 preleasing trends are encouraging, with 3.5% 2013 rent growth and a pace that supports a 100bps occupancy pickup. On the investment front, EDR's $310 million development pipeline should generate very attractive NAV and earnings growth in 2012 and 2013, and the acquisition pipeline remains robust."
