Spectrum: Outperform, $147 Price Target
Analyst Shannon Coyne believes the recent pullback in Spectrum Brands shares has created a buying opportunity. The analyst highlighted considerable white space, high barriers to entry coupled with favorable demographic and macro trends as positives for the stock on which Coyne has a $147 price target.
“While we recognize the potential overhang in the stock based on near-term company-specific and external headwinds, we can't ignore the company's 10 percent free cash flow yield compared with peers at 4–6 percent and its 30 percent discount on a price/cash flow basis,” Coyne wrote in a note.

Coyne set $48 price target on Newell shares.
Sally Beauty: Market Perform, $29
The analyst is also Market Perform on Sally Beauty, with $29 price target as she believes FY 2017 will be another year of investment. The analyst would become more constructive on the stock upon signs of emerging traffic growth at Sally Beauty and greater visibility into double-digit EPS growth in 2018.
Estee Lauder: Underperform, $72
Meanwhile, Coyne is bearish on Estee Lauder, with a target price of $72, citing possibility of another cut in EBIT margin guidance on increasing costs to drive market share.
“Importantly, our proprietary analysis suggests that Estée Lauder is falling behind in social media despite investments made and a large presence suggesting deterioration in heritage-brand and MAC market share (67 percent of sales excluding MAC International),” Coyne added.
