Nomura SecuriNomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Scripps Networks Ities maintains a 'Neutral' on Scripps Networks Interactive (NYSE: SNI) price target of $45.00.

Analsyt, Michael Nathanson, said, "SNI reported adj. 4Q EPS of $0.84, $0.02 better than our $0.82 (in line with consensus) estimate. The beat was driven entirely by equity in earnings of affiliates as Lifestyle Media EBITDA of $281mn missed our estimates by $14 million or 5%. The miss was driven by lower-than-expected advertising and affiliate fee revenue while segment expenses were higher."

"SNI is trading at 12x our last published 2013E earnings. We will revisit estimates following the earnings call. We still prefer media companies with big sticks to wield like Disney (NYSE: DIS) and News Corp. (Nasdaq: NWSA)."
