Rexford Industrial Realty price target raised to $44 from $39 at BMO Capital

Investing.com - BMO Capital raised its price target on Rexford Industrial Realty (NYSE:REXR) to $44.00 from $39.00 while maintaining a Market Perform rating. The stock, currently trading at $40.50, has shown strong momentum with a 9.6% gain year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.

The research firm cited improvements in rental rates within the nation’s largest industrial market, where Rexford owns a high-quality portfolio with average base rent of $17.11 per square foot.

BMO Capital noted that reducing general and administrative expenses by 10% could potentially add $0.06 per share, representing a 2.5% increase in annual funds from operations (FFO).

The firm also indicated that multiple expansion for Rexford stock is likely if the company halted its acquisition activity.

BMO’s $5 price target increase reflects the firm’s assessment of "a higher likelihood of improved capital allocation and market conditions," while maintaining its neutral Market Perform rating on the industrial REIT.
