Janney Montgomery Scott downgraded Peets Coffee & Tea (NASDAQ: PEET) to Sell.
JMS analyst says, "On the heels of this morning's news that Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (Nasdaq: GMCR) announced a strategic relationship for the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of Starbucks-branded K-Cups for use in GMCR's Keurig single-cup brewing system, we are downgrading PEET to a SELL. Last week, upgraded the stock to a BUY on our view that PEET was likely to join the Keurig platform, based on the logic that the strength of the Peet's brand on the west coast (13% grocery share vs. Green Mountain's 2% share) could drive meaningful adoption of Keurig brewers the geography where Keurig's penetration is the weakest. We reasoned that by joining the Keuirg platform in 2011, there was the potential for an incremental $1.00 in EPS in 2012 and thereby upside in the stock to $57/sh. In light of this morning's announcement, we believe the opportunity for PEET to partner with GMCR is all but gone, and as result we are reverting back to our $42/sh fair value estimate, derived from our discounted cash flow analysis."
