LEG Immobilien rises after FY outlook hike
** Shares in LEG Immobilien LEGn.DE are up around 4% after the German real estate firm raised its FY outlook as it reported H1 results
** The company raised its forecast for adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) to EUR 190 to 210 million (previous range of 180 to 200 million euros)
** Based on the mid-point of the range, this corresponds to earnings growth of around 10% compared to the AFFO per share achieved in 2023
** This is based on continued rental growth of +3.4% in H1 and further rent adjustments expected for H2, Baader Helvea writes
** The broker says the devaluation in H1 came in at -1.6% within the range guided at 1-3% and better than its assumption of -2.5% and the gross yield is now at 5% and is becoming attractive again in the current interest environment
** J.P. Morgan says positive headlines on net tangible assets (NTA) and AFFO should support the shares today
** Shares in peers Deutsche Wohnen DWNG.DE, Grand City Properties GYC.DE and Aroundtown AT1.DE are up 2.5-5%
