KeyBanc initiates coverage on Hillshire Brands (NYSE: HSH) with a Hold. PT $29.00.

Analyst, Akshay S. Jagdale, said, "Although we have a favorable view of the new management team and appreciate the potential long-term upside (we see an upside case EPS of over $2.00 and a potential valuation of over $40/share), we prefer to wait for a better entry point since FY13 is designated a reinvestment year (management has yet to provide FY13 guidance and quarterly pro forma financials)."
