UPDATE - UBS upgraded Apartment Investment Management (NYSE: AIV) from Sell to Neutral. PT lowered from $23 to $21.

UBS analyst said, "We downgraded AIV on October 31st given weaker
than expected traffic, occupancy, and slowing rent growth. While shares may continue to under perform the REIT sector as operating trends lag, we believe the recent drop in the stock has priced in these concerns."

"While we still expect strong 6-7% average sector NOI growth in ‘12, recent data points suggest market rental rate growth is at, or near a peak. The recent pullback has removed the froth that we saw in the stocks, but we see the group remaining range-bound until visibility improves surrounding whether rent growth holds at current levels, or retreats modestly in 2012."
