Wedbush Initiates Coverage on Coinstar (CSTR) with an Outperform

November 25, 2009 8:51 AM EST

Wedbush initiates coverage on Coinstar (Nasdaq: CSTR) with an Outperform, price target $35.

Wedbush analyst says,"The recent stock sell-off, despite solid earnings, appears to reflect belated investor realization of Redbox's difficult relationship with some studios. Although we expect the work-around process to lower gross margin, we believe that revenues are poised to grow rapidly, driving much higher 2010 EPS growth than consensus estimates. Our $35 price target reflects a ~20x forward P/E multiple, in line with the cash-adjusted multiple we assign to Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), although a slight discount to the company's historical valuation."
