  • AFAM
    Almost Family Inc
  • $34.23
  • -2.34%
  • $34.94

Market Outperform - Price 20.78 on Oct. 30 by Avondale Partners AFAM provides home health-care services in nine states in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast....AFAM trades at a '08 enterprise value/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization basis multiple of 8.5 times, which is in-line with the peer group range (7.2 times to 10.3 times). At a valuation of 9.4 times 2008 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, AFAM's share price would be 25.

  • CATY
    Cathay General Ba
  • $7.87
  • -1.50%
  • $7.90

Sector Perform - Price 28.06 on Oct. 30 by RBC Capital Markets Excluding a three-cents-a-share gain on a branch sale, Cathay's 3Q07 operating EPS of 64 cents beat our estimate by a penny and the Street consensus by two cents. Trends were mixed, with strong balance-sheet growth offset somewhat by significant margin compression and weaker credit quality... lowering our target from 34 to 33 (now 12.5 times 2008E EPS), which assumes CATY shares deserve to trade at a slight discount to the average community bank.

In Line - Price 38.55 on Nov. 1 by Fox-Pitt Kelton Trading at 1.5 times [book value, Citi] is in line w/peer average. We don't see a near-term catalyst for Citi shares outside a direct response to capital situation or further management changes. That said, sentiment... may be near a floor for Citi. Target: 49.

Hold - Price 37.54 on Oct. 30 by Cantor Fitzgerald OMTR announced a definitive agreement to acquire Visual Sciences in a stock and cash transaction, valued at roughly $394 million, that should eventually give VSCN stockholders 13.7% of the combined company...We're concerned that integration challenges... may not justify the opportunity cost...[Yet] we can't find meaningful fault with OMTR decision to eliminate a competitor.

Long-Term Buy - Price 21.95 on Oct. 30 by Hilliard Lyons 3Q results reflected strong industry fundamentals and good company execution. Total revenue rose 11.4% versus year-ago period, on higher attendance, ticket prices, and greater concession business...Industry data show summer '07 box-office tally of $4.18 billion as largest [ever]...total operating expenses rose just 1%, including effects of minimum-wage hikes and inflationary pressures...the shares [are] attractive, based on several valuation measures, including cash flow. A 5.4% dividend yield and moderate but steady earnings growth could provide investors with annual total return of roughly 14%.
