Underperform - Price 18.51 on Jan. 13 by Friedman, Billings, Ramsey

Target: 14. Our Underperform case is that SPLS's core business is highly exposed to small-business trends and general business trends. This points to deeper-than-2001 recessionary trends. A more recent small-business data point: Wal-Mart 's Sam's Club division December sales missed expectations at a 0.1% comp; and WMT reported pressures amongst small-business customers, where negative office-supply sales at Sam's decelerated sequentially from November to December. SPLS generates roughly 47% of its total pro forma sales from small-business customers (likely 70% of total profits, as they are the highest-profit-margin customers). SPLS has reiterated $300 million in merger synergies from its August. 2008 acquisition of Corporate Express (CXP). We contend that it overpaid at 10.3 times the then [long-term] Ebitda. Net EPS accretion in 2009E [looks] marginal, at best -- not nearly enough to offset the softness in the core businesses of both. The Street expects SPLS to revisit peak EPS of $1.42 in 2009E, which looks far-fetched, given the environment. We reiterate our Underperform, with the stock at 14.9 times our below-consensus 2009E EPS estimate of $1.24. Market cap: $12.9 billion.

Staples (SPLS) also seems too high to me. If you are buying Staples, it is because you think the others in the category are going under. This is not a Circuit City situation.

Staples, Katz argues, is the "best-in-its- class office superstore" and is navigating the economic slowdown better than Office Max (OMX) or Office Depot. The fund manager believes that Staples will earn $1.69 in 2009, versus an expected $1.52 this year. Staples is trying to buy Amsterdam-based Corporate Express. If the deal bears fruit, it would add to Staples' global reach and could help its stock, recently at 22, climb to 31 in a year, he says.
