Oppenheimer upgraded OpenTable (NASDAQ: OPEN) from Perform to Outperform with a price target of $46.00.
Analyst, Jason Helfstein, said, "We are upgrading OPEN shares as 2Q results and guidance suggest near-term revenue stability, and we see the potential for upside in 2013 as the company focuses on improving US conversion rates and its mobile products. 2Q EBITDA increased 21%, 7% above guidance, and management forecasts similar FY growth. Global diner growth was 27% year/year vs. 34% in 1Q, but could accelerate post the Top-table integration and US conversion initiatives."
"Our ($46) target assumes 12x '13 EBITDA or a 23x PE, still well below its nearest comparable HomeAway (Nasdaq: AWAY) at 17x and 34x consensus (FactSet) respectively."
