Empiric Student Property’s stock has been on the rise following a non-binding acquisition proposal from The Unite Group, valuing its shares at 107.0 pence. This has sparked significant speculation about the company’s strategic growth in the student accommodation sector. Additionally, Empiric has reported strong reservation rates for the upcoming academic year, outperforming the wider market. This is bolstered by successful fund deployment from a recent share placing for acquisitions and new developments. Despite these positive developments, analysts urge caution due to overbought technical indicators and the possibility of short-term corrections, presenting a balanced outlook for investors.
