Wedbush downgraded Cost Plus (NASDAQ: CPWM) from Outperform to Neutral with a price target of $22.00.
Analyst, Joan Storms, said, "The companies have reached a definitive agreement for Bed Bath & Beyond (Nasdaq: BBBY) to acquire Cost Plus for $22/share, or $495 million. The boards of both companies unanimously approved the deal, and a special committee of Cost Plus recommended the transaction. Since the acquisition is being made using available cash, the transaction is not subject to financing, and is expected to close during Bed Bath & Beyond’s fiscal second quarter."
"We believe Cost Plus will continue to operate as a stand-alone concept for
the foreseeable future, and expect to see increased cross-merchandising."
