UBS downgraded DuPont Fabros Technology (NYSE: DFT) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $29. Analyst Ross T. Nussbaum pointed to its earnings miss, no M&A, a cloudier strategy, and a premium to NAV.
"We are downgrading shares of DuPont Fabros (DFT) to Sell from Neutral given the combination of a reduced earnings outlook, elimination of M&A potential given the naming of a new CEO, added uncertainty around the strategic outlook under new leadership, and a premium valuation to our 'stabilized' NAV estimate," said Nussbaum.
"While the stock took a hit on Thursday following the Q4 release, we see additional downside potential. At the current level, the stock is trading at a premium to where we see the NAV assuming DFT resolves the Net Data Centers tenant issue and pending Yahoo vacancies. Our revised $29 price target is based on a 10% discount to our 'stabilized' 4Q16 forward NAV of $32," he added.
