Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Douglas Emmett Inc. (NYSE: DEI) price target of $19.00.

Barclays analyst says, "Key Takeaway: Third-quarter NOI fell more than expected, offset by lower interest expense and higher tenant recoveries. With DEI's refinancing plan essentially complete, we expect minimal additional benefit from seemingly ever-lower floating interest rates. Meanwhile, office fundamentals in DEI's markets remain a drag - we think the trend of occupancy declines will reverse in 2012, but rents are likely to roll down for some time. Overall, we project below-average near-term earnings growth and believe the stock's current valuation is fair on a relative basis."

"Our FY2011 FFO estimate remains $1.37 and our 2012 estimate is down just a penny to $1.36ps, implying 11% YOY growth in 2011 (4% on an operating basis) and a 1% decline in 2012. Our five-year (2011-2016) annual operating FFO growth rate is 3% and our five-year annual CAD growth rate is 5%."
