Jefferies Downgrades The Macerich Company (MAC) to Hold

Jefferies downgraded The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $63.00.

The firm comments, "Strong operating results in 1Q12 support our thesis to be overweight the Mall REIT sector. We are reiterating our preference for the Class A Mall REITs, but note these stocks have largely caught up with the Class B/C Mall REITs in terms of YTD performance. Therefore, we are increasingly selective. SPG remains our top pick."
