Janney Montgomery Scott upgraded Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLS) from Neutral to Buy. PT $27.
JMS analyst says, "Concurrently, we are raising our 2011 EPS estimate to $1.57 (previously, $1.53), ahead of consensus of $1.54. Our fair value estimate goes to $27 (previously, $21) based on a 17x multiple on our 2011 EPS estimate."
"We believe that Office Depot (NYSE: ODP) and OfficeMax (NYSE: OMX) - both on an absolute and relative basis - provide for higher potential returns over the medium term. However, risk-reward is stronger for SPLS as downside is more limited due to its ability to effectively manage the P&L and utilize the balance sheet in different economies."
