"Liberty Mutual has been providing support, strength and hope to our customers as they attempt to come back from life's setbacks for more than 100 years and this great team of athletes reminds us that with the right amount of support, every one of us can come back and achieve great things," said Paul G.

We know the dedication it takes to become the best at what you do and are thrilled to support them on their journeys for Olympic gold."

Meet Team Liberty Mutual

Each of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls, athletes and legends selected to Team Liberty Mutual for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games reflects the "Rise" theme. Altogether, Team Liberty Mutual members have appeared in a combined 12 Olympic Winter Games, winning eight Olympic and Paralympic medals, as well as numerous national and international titles. Members of Team Liberty Mutual include:

"I am thrilled to team up with Liberty Mutual Insurance and this incredible group of athletes," said short track speedskater J.R. Celski, who won bronze medals in the 1500m and 5000m relay in Vancouver. "I have faced setback and challenges along my journey and I would not be able to succeed at my dream without the support of friends, family and sponsors, like Liberty Mutual Insurance, who help me rise up to reach my goals."

Leading up to and during the Olympic Winter Games, fans can watch a series of moving "Rise" vignettes that follow the inspirational journey of each Team Liberty Mutual athlete at LibertyMutual.com/TeamUSA. In addition to highlighting Liberty Mutual Insurance's "Rise" campaign, these videos are designed to engage Americans in celebrating the power of human persistence as well as rallying support for these inspirational members of Team USA.

An Ongoing Commitment to Team USA and Youth Sports

Visitors to Liberty Mutual Insurance's experiential footprint at the Road to Sochi Tour will be able to learn more about the "Rise" campaign and Team Liberty Mutual, meet U.S. Olympians and Paralympians past and present, and participate in the Rise social conversation by thanking someone who helped them rise from a challenge using #RISE.

On Sep 24, 2013, we reinstated our long-term recommendation on Liberty Property Trust (LRY) at Neutral. The move depicts the companys decent second-quarter results, strategic efforts to improve its core operations and a conservative balance sheet management. Yet, stiff competition, rising interest rates and a volatile office sector remain our plausible concerns.

Why Neutral?

Driven by improving market fundamentals, strong leasing and development activities, Liberty Propertys second-quarter 2013 FFO (funds from operations) per share of 66 cents surpassed the year-ago figure by 4.8%. However, it came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate as the positive impact was marred by a rise in operating expenses.

Nevertheless, we expect Liberty Property to benefit from its focus on metro-office, multi-tenant industrial and flex properties and markets that have strong demographic and economic fundamentals. Furthermore, with its solid portfolio repositioning program, the company is efficiently meeting the rising demand for premium quality industrial space.

In addition, this Pa.-based real estate investment trust (:REIT) aims to strengthen its balance sheet and liquidity position, which helps it fund investments. In relation to this, the recent senior notes offering and equity shares offering to finance the acquisition of the operating partnership of Cabot Industrial Value Fund III is noteworthy.

Yet, continued volatility in the office sector with job cuts and stiff competition from private and public companies remain our concerns. Also, Liberty Propertys large development pipeline and continuous acquisition spree involves significant upfront operating expenses with limited near-term profitability. Moreover, the rise in interest rates and the capital market volatility adversely affect the companys funding expenses.

Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 FFO per share declined 1.9% to $2.59. Also, for 2014 it moved down 0.4% to $2.72 per share. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Other Stocks to Consider

Better performing REITs that are worth a look include Sovran Self Storage Inc. (SSS), SL Green Realty Corp. (SLG) and Douglas Emmett Inc (DEI). All the stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Note: FFO, a widely accepted and reported measure of the performance of REITs is derived by adding depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income.
