Cantor Fitzgerald downgraded DuPont Fabros Technology (NYSE: DFT) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $29.50.

Analyst, David Toti, said, "We continue to support the thesis that demand for data center space should remain intact. We also assume a 24-month lease-up period for DuPont's assets, with the exception of NJ1. The stock has had a YTD run, however, suggesting that at current levels, shares are fully priced--as implied by our total implied return of 5.5% (3.5% price + 2.0% dividend yield), which falls more or less in-line with our overall REIT return expectations of 1.3-6.2%. While there remains the potential for future value creation via the development and leasing of wholesale data center assets, the current share price likely factors in this NPV."
