0042 GMT - Citi analyst Thomas Strong doesn't think investors should get too excited over individual transactions at Macquarie such as its latest data-center divestment. Two Macquarie infrastructure funds and their co-investment partners are selling Aligned Data Centers for US$40 billion. Strong acknowledges that it is tempting to see transactions like this as additive to expectations, but he reckons that consensus forecasts are already too high and need to be met if the stock is to justify its multiple of 20X earnings. Citi has a last-published neutral rating and A$200.00 target price on the stock, which is down 0.2% at A$226.38. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
