Wells Fargo Resumes Coverage on Bally Technologies (BYI) at Market Perform; Fairly Valued, With Some Risk To FY2013 Estimates

Wells Fargo resumes coverage on Bally Technologies (NYSE: BYI) with a Market Perform. PT range $30-$40.

Wells analyst says, "BYI currently trades at 40.8x FY2013E free cash flow (FCF), 13.9x FY2013E EPS, and 6.9x FY2013E EV/EBITDA, which we believe is fair at this point. While BYI's product is improving and its systems business offers diversification, we believe this is largely reflected in the 15% appreciation in the stock price since BYI increased its guidance last quarter, versus the S&P 500, up 0.2%. While our FY2012 EPS estimate of $2.33 is only 2.2% below the consensus, our FY2013 EPS estimate of $2.75 is 6% below, as we see risk from the anticipated contribution from Italy and the potential for a longer ramp-up in systems revenue than the Street is modeling. In our view, BYI's limited FCF generation reflects a narrower earnings base than IGT."
