0125 GMT - Scentre's sale of a 25% stake in its Westfield Chermside mall is seen by Citi analysts as providing the capital to buy back subordinated notes or recycle into other developments. The analysts tell clients in a note that the shopping-center operator has achieved an attractive valuation with the A$683 million sale, justifying its book value and potential for further cap-rate compression. Options for the funds include high-return residential developments or increased expansion of retail projects in response to low supply, they add. Citi has a buy rating and A$3.90 target price on the stock, which is up 0.3% at A$3.74. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
