TD Newcrest upgrades Thomson Corp. (NYSE: TOC) from Buy to Action List Buy and maintains a C$50 price target.
The firm notes that Thomson is trading near 52-week low levels and is down about 5% since it reported its Q4 earnings and boosted its dividend 10% last month.
TD Newcrest has become more positive on Thomson as it is now more confident that Reuters "is not about to fall off a cliff". The firm believes that the combination of Thomson and Reuters could create a "free cash flow machine once integration is complete and synergies are achieved."
Furthermore, the firm expects the closing of a deal on April 17 to cause shorts to cover their bets, possibly creating a short squeeze on shares of Thomson.
