From Barron's 4/9/07
The following is a list of companies from a collection of various research reports.

-
GPN
Global Payments I - $52.50
- +0.21%
- $52.18
From Barron's 4/9/07 GPN, a high-volume processor of electronic transactions, had third-quarter 2007 EPS of 44 cents -- [beating] our expectations and consensus...of 41 cents. We believe that GPN's preliminary guidance for FY08 has reduced the level of growth expectations yet, coupled with the FDC/KKR deal, has opened a window of opportunity to purchase the shares at below private-market value. Raising to Outperform; initial price target, 46.

-
NAPS
Napster - $0.00
- 0.00%
- $N/A
From Barron's 4/9/07 NAPS preannounced better-than-expected F4Q07 subscriber and revenue growth; AOL conversions slightly below expectations. What should investors do? We [reiterate] Buy. While most of the NAPS' upside return potential is from a takeout, [we think] management is improving execution. NAPS continues to enter agreements in high-growth market segments, notably in mobile: AT NTT DoCoMo; and KDDI. And we believe NAPS is cutting its sales and marketing expenses, narrow[ing] its cash burn.

GASS
Stealthgas - $6.43
- +2.23%
- $6.28
From Barron's 4/9/07 We raise our price target to 17 (from 15) based on an 8 times EV/2007 [enterprise value] multiple to our new 2007 Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] estimate of $47 million (from $45 million). StealthGas announced the acquisition of four [liquid-petroleum gas] carriers (three secondhands and one new) for an aggregate price of $51 million. We expect these acquisitions to be financed by approximately 90% debt and 10% equity. As a result, we raise our 2007 and 2008 EPS estimates to $1.50 (from $1.46) and $1.71 (from $1.58), respectively, to account for latest acquisitions, as well as charter extensions for six LPG carriers. We also raise our Ebitda estimates to $47 million (from $45 million) for 2007 and $53 million (from $47 million) for 2008. GASS has secured 85%+ of its fleet operating days for 2007, which should provide relatively stable earnings and help support current dividend policy.

STI
Suntrust Banks - $19.93
- -1.68%
- $19.91
From Barron's 4/9/07 Lowering target to 86 from 96. The stock has a premium multiple [because it's] believed to be a takeover target and has a sizable Coca Cola stake, acquired in 1904, worth an estimated $2.5 billion. As a result...STI has a [high price-to-earnings growth] PEG ratio, 1.84:1...Takeover does not seem likely since the bank has just restructured management...There is relatively high earnings risk in STI [now]...Yet rumors of takeover and the yield may provide some downside protection.

WOOF
Vca Antech - $23.18
- +0.48%
- $22.94
From Barron's 4/9/07 VCA Antech is U.S.'s largest operator of veterinary-diagnostic laboratories and...independent operator of animal hospitals...It can generate above-average growth and strong cash flow by taking advantage of trend toward...higher-acuity services for pets, particularly diagnostic. Market Perform rating is based on the shares' current valuation at a 1.8 PEG ratio. VCA Antech had 379 animal hospitals in 37 states as of Dec. 31...There are ample opportunities for the company to sustain 4% to 5% internal growth [plus growth through] acquisitions. Its...[labs] serve hospitals in all 50 states. This business has yielded same-store growth of 15% in the past two quarters...[well above an] 8% to 10% target, and generates Ebitda margins of 40%.
