2221 GMT - Auckland International Airport has the edge over Australia-listed tollroad owner Transurban for investors seeking to invest in local infrastructure stocks, according to Jefferies. Auckland Airport is trading on an enterprise value-to-Ebitda multiple of 19.8x. That's below Transurban's multiple of 21.5x. "The inverse correlation with interest rates suggests potential for multiple expansion as monetary policy eases, and passenger growth returns," analyst Amit Kanwatia says. Jefferies has a hold call on Auckland Airport, and raises its price target by 7.6% to NZ$8.50/share. Auckland Airport is down 0.6% at NZ$7.75 today. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
