Analyst, Louis Meyer, said, "We are continuing coverage of the Sara Lee Corp. spin-off and special cash dividend transaction, raising our rating to BUY while revising our price target to $21.00. Our sum-of-the-parts value is based on: (1) €9.00/share ($10.45/share @ 1.27 Euro exchange rate) for coffee/tea spin-off D.E Master Blenders 1753 BV (EN Amsterdam-DE NA-€8.24), (2) $35.00/share valuation ($7.00/share per SLE share) for Hillshire Brands CO. (NYSE: HSH-WI) - the SLE North American foods business - which will effect a 1 for 5 reverse stock split post-spin), and (3) $2.45/share SLE special cash dividend ($3.00 taxed as income)."
