Citycon (Hold, TP: EUR10.30) - 2020e DPS lowered

The Q3 results were marginally below our forecasts and consensus. Citycon narrowed its 2019 guidance, and we have cut our 2019e EBIT and FFO to the lower end of the guidance range after the Q3 miss. Post the Moody’s downgrade (May) and S&P outlook downgrade (September), we expect Citycon to reduce its dividend ratio to retain an IG rating, and we have cut our 2020e DPS. We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to EUR10.3 (11).
