Deutsche Bank Reiterates a 'Buy' Rating on Kellogg (K); Future Onward and Upward
Deutsche Bank reiterates a 'Buy' rating on Kellogg (NYSE: K), price target $59.
Deutsche analyst says, "We reiterate our BUY opinion based upon leading global share in cereal and exposure to rapidly growing snack categories. With well recognized brands, a motivated and focused mgmt team, significant cost savings, solid balance sheet and robust FCF, it is hard to see a future that isn’t onward and upward...Kellogg mgmt gave a cogent and robust defense of the company’s long held strategy, giving investor reasons to feel optimistic about prospects despite a challenging marketplace. Once again mgmt. pointed to increasing confidence in LT savings plans with accelerating returns that will yield $1+ bil. by 2011-end...We think investors were most surprised by a 30% proactive cut in SKUs in N.A. product in 2009 as Kellogg reacts to a new environment of economizing consumers and more focused retailers. Although no change in guidance was given, investors were left with a company on track to meet its LT goals."
