Jefferies initiated coverage on New York Times (NYSE: NYT) with a Hold rating and a price target of $15.00.

Analyst John Janedis said, "We believe that the New York Times has and will continue to be the most successful newspaper publisher to move to a multi-platform news content distribution model. With recent hires implementing change and the early stages of announced strategic investment initiatives, the next 6-12 months will be a critical test for management’s growth plan. While too soon to call, given valuation of the stock, we think a successful outcome is currently priced into the stock at current levels. We currently assume EPS for 2014, 2015, and 2016 of $0.32, $0.42, and $0.46 vs. consensus of $0.42, $0.50, and $0.70, respectively. Our EPS CAGR from ’14-‘16E is 12% for the company."
