UBS upgraded SUPERVALU (NYSE: SVU) from Sell to Neutral, price target lowered from $4.50 to $4.00.
Analyst, Jason DeRise, said, "SVU announces big changes, improves chance of turning around in Long-Term...Significant operational challenges persist in Near-Term"
"We update to Neutral because the covenant risk is removed, but would not recommend buying given the operational headwinds. Our target price implies a PE of 6.3x 2012CY EPS and 5.7x 2012CY EV/EBITDA estimates. We no longer assume a 30% weighting to the bear case covenant breach scenario, but no longer assume a 20% weighting to the bull case SOTP."
DeRise lowers FY13 EPS estimate from $1.23 to $0.63 and FY14 from $1.25 to $0.64.
