KeyBanc Downgrades Boston Properties Inc. (BXP) to Underweight; Premium Valuation Appears Excessive

KeyBanc downgraded Boston Properties Inc. (NYSE: BXP) to Underweight with a price target of $90.00.

KeyBanc analyst says, "While the Company has served as a safety trade given a fortress balance sheet and high quality office portfolio, the premium valuation appears excessive at current levels. Our downgrade reflects our expectation of multiple convergence between high and low multiple names – as investors become more constructive on the recovery and risk appetites increase, BXP’s safe haven status will have relatively less appeal. BXP’s earnings growth also fails to justify the current 24% multiple premium to the office group."
