Jefferies downgraded SL Green Realty (NYSE: SLG) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $78.00.

The firm comments, "SLG's stock price has run up 16% year to date, and currently trades at an implied cap rate of 5.6% and an AFFO multiple of 28x. We like the story and the earnings growth potential, but believe that valuation is full at this level. We are downgrading to a Hold, but continue to prefer SLG over BXP as that stock trades at a sub-5% implied cap rate."
