2314 GMT - Citi is backing Australia's real-estate investment trusts to keep outperforming. That view reflects lower interest rates driving down REITs' finance costs. Analysts Howard Penny, Suraj Nebhani and Akshit Batra also cite tailwinds such as tighter cap rates, higher net-tangible-asset valuations, supported demand and stronger fundamentals. "Goodman continues to remain our top pick on the back of long-term data centers demand and growth, along with Stockland and Scentre supported by improving rate cut cycle," they say. Citi is cautious about office landlords. Still, it's positive about companies that own offices as part of a diversified portfolio, such as GPT and Charter Hall. This pair should benefit from an improving funds-management business, Citi says. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
