UBS reiterates a 'Neutral' on Weingarten (NYSE: WRI) price target raised from $21 to $24.

UBS analyst said, "We favor Weingarten’s long term strategy of recycling capital into higher quality acquisitions and development while selling non-core assets, despite the near term dilutive impact, as we believe it ultimately results in long term NAV creation. We also see the 4.6% dividend yield as providing support for the stock (vs. the REIT average of 3.6%). That said, the full valuation keeps us at Neutral."

UBS raised FY12 EPS estimate from $1.83 to $1.88 and FY13 from $1.88 to $1.91.
