Intu Properties (LSE: INTU) is a shopping-centre owner and manager. The company, which has lost around a fifth of its value in just 12 months, was relegated from the FTSE 100 earlier this year as a result of increased investor pessimism over the retail sector. Despite this, Intu expects another year of rental income growth after a solid third quarter. It has agreed leases between July and November for £13m of annual rent.
