Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Cooper Industries (NYSE: CBE) price target of $68.00.
Analyst, Shannon O'Callaghan, said, "The deal premium looks good on the day, but is modest relative to our expectations. As of 5/2, the stock was at $64, so the premium paid is much higher than the 12% premium to the recent 5/2 price, as well as the 6% premium to our $68 price target. Given that our case for the ongoing entity was for $68, and we think the bull case for the ongoing entity was north of $70, we would have expected a higher price for Cooper in a take-out. We don’t have visibility into another buyer paying more, but given Cooper’s electrical products positions it is logical that others might be interested, but we think those buyers would have already taken a look. On the conference call, management noted that both boards unanimously approved the deal."
(NOTE - Eaton (NYSE: ETN) announces $68 per share offer to acquire CBE)
