Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Brown Forman (NYSE: BF-B) price target $65.00 (from $59)
Analyst, Ian Shackleton, said, "After a strong Q1 we upgrade our FY EPS estimate towards the top end of the company guidance range (USD 2.63 within range USD 2.40-2.67). In addition, factoring this in, as well as assuming a lower medium-term tax rate, we increase our target price to $65. We see the company is already delivering growth in line with the longer-term modeling. With net debt likely to disappear in FY13 despite higher capex plans, we expect the company to be more acquisitive. Company trades at a calendar 2013E P/E of 22.8x vs. spirits sector at 16.9x."
