Deutsche Bank Weighs in as Blue-Collar Staffing Co, TrueBlue (TBI), Takes it on Chin

October 25, 2012 3:04 PM
Deutsche Bank maintained a Hold rating on blue-collar staffing company TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) and cut its price target to $15.00 (from $16.00). The price cut reflects an 18 percent cut to 2013 EPS estimates (from $1.14 to $0.94), which comes as Boeing (NYSE: BA) revenue is set to decline.

TrueBlue stock opened lower today by nearly 18 percent in the wake of a disappoint Q3 report.

"Boeing revenue is likely going to decline from $70m in '12E to $20m in '13E, which is about 4% headwind to '13E total rev growth," noted analyst Paul Ginocchio.

"With Boeing no longer a risk to our lowered 2013E revs, we think the trading multiple can expand once underlying rev trends stabilize YoY," he said.
