Goldman Sachs upgraded Scripps Networks Interactive (NYSE: SNI) from Sell to Buy with a price target of $63.00 (from $50.00).
Analyst, Drew Borst, said, "Our 2012/13/14E EPS is increased by 5%/13%/13% due to lower share count, higher advertising and online streaming deal. Since SNI was added to our Sell list on January 31, 2011, its shares are up 14% vs. the S&P up 4%. We see the stock being bolstered by strong TV ratings (especially at Food Network), limited international exposure and the potential EPS accretion from online streaming deals and a potential Food Network buy-in that alone could boost 2013 EPS by around 14% and lower the P/E by a turn and half."
"SNI is in one of the few content companies to not strike any licensing deals with the online streaming companies, namely Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) or Hulu. SNI has articulated a three pronged digital strategy of simultaneously pursuing: (1) Authentication (or TV Everywhere) deals with existing distribution partners, (2) Organically built, wholly-owned online properties that directly reach consumers (e.g., foodnetwork.com), and (3) Licensing content to thirdparties."
