Sasseur Reit – Three analyst initiations in less than 2 months! What gives (25 Jul 23)

el15

Dear all Two weeks ago, I mentioned that some reits’ charts (click HERE) have caught my attention. On a fundamental basis, besides Lendlease Reit (Click HERE for my key takeaway from my 1-1 meeting with Lendlease Reit Manager CEO), Sasseur Reit has caught my particular attention. What first caught my attention was that Sasseur Reit has seen three analyst initiations in less than two months! There are now six research houses actively covering Sasseur Reit.

Last month, I am fortunate to meet Mr Kelvin Chow, CEO of Lendlease Global Commercial […]
