KeyBanc initiates coverage on Silgan Holdings (NASDAQ: SLGN) with a Buy. PT $51.00.

Analyst, Adam J. Josephson, said, "We consider Silgan a high-quality company based on a number of factors: consistently impressive returns on capital, disciplined capital allocation, and the ability to generate significant profit growth in an industry with slowly declining volume, among others. The Company has done a commendable job of generating consistent and substantial EBIT growth (and EBIT margin improvement) in its largest business – metal food cans – even as industry volume has been in a slow, steady decline, and we expect continued EBIT growth in this business."
