0143 GMT - Real-estate investment firm Qualitas gets a new bull at Citi, where analyst Nilesh Bhaiya sees an attractive opportunity to gain exposure to Australia's growing private-credit market. Bhaiya tells clients in a note that Qualitas leveraged the pullback by banks from commercial real-estate lending in the decade following the 2008 financial crisis to build a position supported by institutional capital, deep borrower relationships, and execution capability in large transactions. He cites high earnings visibility, average annual 30% growth in fee-earning funds under management, and supportive policy as attractions. The stock is trading about 30% below its historical multiples, he adds. Citi initiates coverage with a buy rating and a target price of 4.00 Australian dollars on the stock, which is up 3.5% at A$2.63. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
