Citi sees lack of immediate upside catalyst for Premier after Myer deal
Repeats to remove extraneous Refinitiv Instrument Code with no changes to text
** Analysts at Citi downgrade stock rating on Australia's Premier Investments PMV.AX to "neutral" from "buy"; keep PT at A$36
** Australian department store owner Myer MYR.AX will buy retail billionaire Solomon Lew's Premier Investments' apparel brands business, in a deal valued at A$863.8 million ($568.38 million)
** Citi does not see an immediate upside catalyst for PMV from the deal and expects some risk of sell-down as Myer shares are to be distributed
** Brokerage does not see a rebound in trading conditions for PMV just yet, so there is a lack of actionable upside to participate in the near term
** Myer will issue Premier 890.5 million new shares in the retailer under the deal
** PMV has risen 20.6% YTD, as of last close
