Context and risks
The rise in 10-year rates (5.17%) is a headwind for a REIT with Net Debt/EBITDA of 9.49, making refinancing more expensive and pressuring the valuation of long-duration assets. However, the acquisition premium from Prologis partially mitigates this risk.

Verdict: Hold; the Prologis deal is the main catalyst, but closing is not yet guaranteed and the balance sheet is highly leveraged.
Main risk: The main risk is the high Net Debt/EBITDA of 9.49, which in a rising rate environment could pressure financial health if the Prologis acquisition does not complete.
