Deutsche Bank downgraded GSI Commerce (NASDAQ: GSIC) from Buy to Hold. PT $28.
Deutsche analyst says, "Under the terms of the agreement, GSI may solicit proposals from third-parties for a 40-day “go-shop” period. We think there is a less than 5% chance this scenario would play out, especially from the likely suspects: Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) (large brands un-comfort factor), Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) (e-commerce early stages), IBM (NYSE: IBM) (already has WebSphere) and Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) (still digesting ARTG acquisition). If there is a bidder, we think it will likely come unlikely suspects, such as Walmart(NYSE: WMT) / Sears (Nasdaq: SHLD) (looking to build dominance in e-commerce) or an Asia-based company seeking to build its presence in the US, such as Rakuten (already owns Buy.com) or the Alibaba Group."
