Goldman Sachs upgraded SouFun Holdings (NYSE: SFUN) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $16.20.
Anlayst Fei Fang said, "We upgrade SouFun to Buy from Neutral after the stock’s 33% share price pullback from its Mar 6 high (vs. NASDAQ -7%) on weak property transaction volume and sector-wide de-rating. Trading at 12X 2015E P/E (vs. sector average 20X), we believe SouFun has transformed from being competitively challenged (especially in e-commerce) into one of the most defensive vertical leaders due to sustained strength in marketing and listing services, both of which benefit from structural offline-to-online tailwinds regardless of property cycles. We forecast a 21% 2014-17 EPS CAGR, for a compelling current PEG of 0.6X."
