Wells Fargo upgraded Greif Inc. (NYSE: GEF) from Market Perform to Outperform with a price target range $46-48.

Analyst, Christopher D. Manuel, said, "In the medium and long-term, we view GEF shares as attractive given the following company specific catalysts: (1) Stabilized demand trends (albeit at depressed levels in select European geographies); (2) Multiple avenues for earnings and cash flow improvement over the next 12-24 months; (3) Attractive valuation (even in a “bad” case scenario), with an 11.7% and 12.8% FCF yield on our FY2012E and FY2013E, respectively (below historical levels); and (4) Solid 4.3% dividend yield."
