Citi Downgrades G&K Services (GKSR) to Hold

October 7, 2008 9:08 AM EDT

Citi downgrades G&K Services Inc (Nasdaq: GKSR) from Buy to Hold. Price target lowered from $42 to $30.

Citi analyst says, "Tough economic conditions and some one-time items led GKSR to preannounce negative results for its fiscal 1Q09 earnings. Not much seems to be going right at the moment, and there is little reason to own the stock outside of valuation, which isn't working as a catalyst in this market...The company's generous cash valuation (~10% CY09 FCF yield) is the key reason we are not more negative on shares."

G&K Services, Inc. is a provider of branded identity apparel and facility services programs.
