Wells Fargo initiates coverage on International Game Tech (NYSE: IGT) with an Outperform. PT range $17-$22.

Wells analyst says, "We are positive on IGT for several reasons. (1) we believe IGT is rapidly positioning itself as the best-in-class manufacturer from a massive restructuring that began in 2009; (2) IGT’s FCF generation is very high, with $1.55 per share in FCF expected in FY2013; (3) its FCF stream is highly defensive, in our view, given the recurring nature of gaming operations; (4) excellent leverage to an increase in replacements of old mechanical reel units; and (5) we believe earnings risk is skewed to the upside given the potential for new opportunities."
