Wells Fargo Keeps Their Hold Rating on Spectrum Brands Holdings (SPB)


In a report released today, Sam Reid from Wells Fargo maintained a Hold rating on Spectrum Brands Holdings (SPB), with a price target of $50. The company’s shares opened today at $48.05, close to its 52-week low of $45.88.

Reid said:

“We lower our FY19/FY20 EBITDA ests. by $51MM/$72MM to $563MM/$568MM & our price target by $20 to $50 (implying a ~7-8x pro-forma multiple) to reflect what we believe is a much more challenged fundamental backdrop than even our prior conservative ests. contemplated. In short, we weren’t surprised shares were meaningfully off today (-19% vs. the S&P500 -2%) and don’t see today’s weakness as a buying opportunity. We remain cautious given our ongoing concerns about SPB’s execution & biz cyclicality.”

According to TipRanks.com, Reid is ranked #4641 out of 4897 analysts.

Currently, the analyst consensus on Spectrum Brands Holdings is a Moderate Buy with an average price target of $82.67, implying a 72.0% upside from current levels. In a report released today, Oppenheimer also downgraded the stock to Hold.
