Energizer Holdings Inc (NYSE: ENR) received a Buy rating and a $70 price target from Jefferies analyst Kevin Grundy today. The company’s shares opened today at $60.33, close to its 52-week high of $64.
Grundy said:
“Pricing in US batteries has driven ENR’s industry sales growth well above the avg. in HPC/bevs over the latest 52-wks (+3.9% vs. +0.5%). Long thought to be a declining category, improving battery fundamentals should help drive multiple expansion at ENR, which is trading at 10x EV/EBITDA vs. 12.5x peer avg. Recent referral up to Euro Comm. for SPB battery deal does little to change our expectation of a positive outcome. ENR remains our top alpha-generating idea.”
