Sterne Agee raised its rating on First Cash Financial Services
FCFS to Neutral from Underperform and increased its price target to $36 from $30 as shares move below price target, and the company announced share buybacks.
Sterne Agee notes, "The stock is now selling below our price target and within the expected trading range of $30 to $36 per share. This range is based on valuing the company's 2012 pawn-based earnings at 12-15x. ...First Cash announced that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of 1.5 million shares. We believe the announced buyback is a step in the right direction; the repurchases represent approximately 5% of the outstanding shares."
FCFS closed at $35.23 per share on Thursday.
