Weekly Recap: Goldman Sachs coverage start and Ameriprise, TR 3% stakes
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of TAG Immobilien AG (TEG) with a Buy rating and €14.30 price target, citing expansion in Poland, high dividend yield, low vacancy in Germany, and a strong balance sheet. Ameriprise Financial and TR Property Investment Trust each now hold at least 3% voting rights in the company.
