FBR Capital downgraded ProLogis (NYSE: PLD) from Outperform to Market Perform. PT lowered to $37.50 from $38.

FBR analyst says, "ProLogis and AMB combined have returned a total of 55% and outperformed the RMZ by 1,954 bps since our rating/initiation on 7/13/2010 and outperformed the RMZ by 163 bps YTD. The current overall weaker macro environment does change our investment thesis at current price levels of PLD, due to a lack of further upside potential. The exposure of the combined AMB-ProLogis portfolio to Europe is 27% of NOI. With recent weaker GDP outlook for Europe, the $750M+ land bank for development will take longer to build, perhaps offset somewhat by positive demand from Japan. While arguments for obsolescence/lack of inventory in Europe, a resurgence of Japan industrial
fundamentals (6% of NOI), and G&A synergies may be made, we believe the stock
is fully valued."
