Jefferies maintained a Hold rating on hhgregg (NYSE: HGG) and raised its price target to $8.00 (from $7.00).
"HGG shares look 'cheap' on a P/E basis, but we believe this continues to reflect concerns about the broader CE industry, particularly TV weakness, technology convergence, a shift to online buying and weak product cycles," said analyst Daniel Binder.
Binder thinks sales at hhgreegg will remain weak, though there could be a slight improvement in the second half.
"Our $8 price target is based on HGG shares selling at about 9x our FY14 EPS estimate of $0.90. This is in line with its 1-year average P/E multiple of 9x, which seems low, but is not unusual for retailers facing secular headwind," said Binder.
