Topeka Capital maintained a Buy rating on 21st Century Fox (NASDAQ: FOXA) with a price target of $41. Analyst David W. Miller commented on recent rumors that suggested it was in talks to acquire Discovery Communications (NASDAQ: DISCA), calling a potential combination "a lot more plausible" than 21st Century Fox a and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) merger.

"Throughout the trading day yesterday, various trade publications and wire services speculated that FOXA was in acquisition talks with Discovery Networks (DISCA-$32.34:Buy). Of course, as is typical with these types of rumors, FOXA representatives denied any truth to the press reports, but in assessing the merits of such a deal, FOXA could conceivably achieve rich scale in networks supply in this type of combination, without having to pare assets," said Miller.
