British Land downgraded by heavyweight bank; here's why

  • UBS has taken a more cautious stance on British Land Company PLC (LSE:BLND), downgrading the property group from 'buy' to 'neutral' and trimming its 12-month price target from 465p to 410p. The shift comes after the company's flat earnings guidance for the year ahead failed to square with expectations for a pick-up from newly completed developments.
