Jefferies Downgrades Presitge Brands (PBH) to Underperform

November 7, 2014 7:12 AM

Jefferies downgraded Presitge Brands (NYSE: PBH) from Hold to Underperform with a price target of $30.00 (from $28.00).

Analyst Kevin Grundy comments, "With the shares at an all-time high, we are downgrading PBH to Underperform from Hold and see c. 20% downside over the next 12 months. The market's expectation of low-single-digit % org sales/FCF growth is too high for PBH's declining biz, mkt share losses in > 80% of the portfolio may require greater investment, and "M&A optionality" is a tolerable risk for us given the co.'s 6x debt leverage. Our FY16 sales/EBITDA est. are 4%/7% below the Street."
