Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Nielsen Holdings (NYSE: NLSN) price target of $38.00.
Needham analyst says, "Our primary investment take-aways included: 1) In their Watch product (ie, TV ratings) NLSN has hired 15-20 former partners from McKinsey and other senior client service organizations. Each of these folks is assigned to a single customer, typically one of NLSNs largest payers. These "client relationship" folks are paid on how much their client likes them, rather than on revenue levels. There are several positive investment implications of this client-service focus; 2) In Western Europe, NLSN has seen no deterioration of BUY revenue in 2011, despite the sovereign-debt repayment issues that have roiled capital markets. Eastern Europe continues to be a growth area for NLSN; and 3) For the "BUY" product, China and India are growth areas, followed by sub-Saharan Africa. All are being driven by NLSN clients."
