Deutsche Bank Initiates Coverage On Mobile Mini

In a note released Monday morning, Deutsche Bank initiated coverage on Mobile Mini MINI with a Buy rating and announced a $57 price target. Deutsche Bank Amit Mehrotra explained the firm's position on the company's stock. In a forward look at the company's restructuring plan, Mehrotra forecasts it bringing a 13 and 27 percent respective CAGR for revenue and EPS through 2017. Mehrotra commented, "We view management's plan as ambitious but credible, with significant upside to MINI's earnings power if achieved." Management's plan, Mehrotra noted, has two main aims: 1) achieving 80 percent fleet utilization and 2) "significant improvement" in yield. Additionally, Mehrotra noted the company recently announced its first ever cash dividend as well as a $125 million buyback authorization.
