In a report released today, Michael Grondahl from Northland Securities maintained a Buy rating on Piper Jaffray Companies (PJC), with a price target of $89. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $73.26.
Grondahl noted:
“We believe these are 5-7 year terms. In 2018, Sandler’s revenues were ~$340M and revenues have an average of $290M since 2011. Sandler’s 199 book ran transactions and managed more sub debt or senior note offerings for banks under $35B in assets than any other bank since 2014. Sandler will get one BOD sent when the deal closes and a 2nd seat in 1Q21. Doyle will continue with the new company and have signed employment agreements along with other key Sandler employees and all Sandler partners. Proforma for the deal, Sandler employees are expected to own ~16% of the combined company. We believe the combined name is a good idea. For PJC, this acquisition deploys excess capital and expected cash proceeds from the pending sale of Advisory Research Inc.”
