KeyBanc initiates coverage on Crown Holdings (NYSE: CCK) with a Hold.
Analyst, Adam J. Josephson, said, "We are initiating coverage of Crown Holdings with a HOLD rating for a few reasons: 1) our EPS estimates are slightly below consensus in 2012 and 2013; 2) the stock is trading slightly above its three-year average multiples of EPS, EBIT and EBITDA; 3) we do not expect much multiple expansion given our view that industry conditions are unlikely to significantly improve and that we expect a meaningful percentage of EPS growth over the next two years to come from share buybacks; and 4) we do not foresee investor sentiment getting much better than it already is."
