MKM Partners reiterates a 'Buy' on Scripps Networks Interactive (NYSE: SNI) price target of $62.00 (from $60.00).
Analyst, Eric Handler, said, "We maintain a positive view toward Scripps as a still healthy ad market and ongoing strength at Food Network drove a solid 2Q performance. Results in the quarter exceeded expectations across all key measures. Although a higher non-programming expense forecast (mainly from higher marketing spending for upcoming program launches) is resulting in a slight cut to our EBITDA projection for the year to $1.03bn (+6%) from $1.05bn, we are raising our EPS estimate to $3.38 from $3.30 to reflect the 2Q upside, a lower full year tax rate, and a reduced share count due to a higher level of share repurchases."
