Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Metals USA (NYSE: MUSA) with a Buy. PT $21.00.
Deutsche analyst said, "Steel equities have seen ongoing weakness, declining 22% YTD and underperforming the S&P by 33%, and MUSA has out-performed YTD both our steel universe and the S&P (46% and 12% respectively). However, MUSA shares have declined ~13% since Apollo (Nasdaq: APO) (its largest shareholder) sold a ~10% stake in early August. We view this as a buying opportunity given this recent share price weakness and the company’s market position. MUSA trades at 5x 2013E EBITDA, inline with our steel coverage but at a discount to SC peers."
DB EPS estimates are $1.74 in 2012 and $2.30 in 2013, higher than consensus ests of
$1.71 and $2.11 respectively.
