NEW YORK CITY & NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C.

Whitestone REIT is being acquired by Ares Management funds for $19/share, capping a 45% YTD rally and months of takeover speculation. WSR's portfolio of open-air, small-shop retail centers with below-market leases and improved balance sheets drove private equity interest and a robust sales process. With shares now near the deal price and little risk of a higher bid, WSR offers only bond-like returns; I rate it a 'hold' and suggest profit-taking.
Whitestone (WSR) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in FFO estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
