January 26, 2010 5:07 PM EST

Janney Montgomery Scott initiates coverage on Systemax Inc. (NYSE: SYX) with a Buy. Price target $23.

Janney analyst says, "We anticipate double digit revenue growth driven by a strong PC product cycle coupled with new store openings, store remodels, and online growth from a strong portfolio of brands including TigerDirect, MISCO, CompUSA, and Circuit City. Additionally, gross margin should improve due to an increase in brick and mortar sales, stronger purchasing power, and a positive product mix shift. We also anticipate SG&A leverage on existing infrastructure. Valuation is compelling as the stock is currently trading at 12x P/E versus our fair value estimate based on 16x P/E multiple (2010).

"We see upside to our fair value estimate as revenues, margins, earnings and the multiple should all
expand over the next two years."
