Opinion Lowered On Shares of GameStop Corp

U.S.
03/29/2018

• CFRA LOWERS OPINION ON SHARES OF GAMESTOP CORP. (GME 13 ***) TO HOLD


FROM BUY: We lower our 12-month target by $5 to $18, or 6.0X our FY 19 (Jan.) EPS
estimate of $3.06, down from $3.35. Adj. Jan-Q EPS was $2.02 vs. $2.38, $0.06 above
consensus. Revenues were better than expected as comps rose 12.2% (vs. 10.6%
consensus). We see value in GME with Switch's recent success and potential improvements
with a new CEO. GME has a dividend yield of 11% which is safe given strong cash flow
(accounting for debt). Although the stock appears cheap, GME did not announce a buyback
plan and we lower our rating given fear of further disruption via direct-to-consumer sales.

• CFRA MAINTAINS HOLD OPINION ON SHARES OF SWISS RE (SREN VX, CHF97.28 ***):
We keep our 12-month target price for Swiss Re (SREN) at CHF98, implying 0.95x 2018
consensus P/B with a 9% ROE, in line with its 5-year mean but below peers at 1.2x, to reflect
its lower ROE profile. Softbank is reportedly closing in on a deal to buy 25% stake in SREN.
Note that SREN announced in early February that it is in talks with Softbank regarding the
said potential minority investment. According to Bloomberg, it is said that Softbank could be
offering between CHF100 to CHF105 per share for the stake, although no formal
announcement has been made from both companies at this stage. Further, the terms of the
potential deal are still fluid at this moment. SREN could leverage on this partnership to help
its digital strategy given Softbank's investments in wide range of tech companies including
insurtech companies like the U.S. startup Lemonade and China's ZhongAn. That said, we
think the stock's risk-reward profile remains balanced at current levels. /A. Halim

TRENDS & IDEAS


The Temperature In The Permian Just Went Way, Way Up
03/29/2018

• The Permian Basin is the poster child for U.S. unconventional oil production. Possessing
multiple pay zones of crude oil, in vast quantities, it is one of the key catalysts in the U.S.
achieving a new record high of 10.05 million barrels per day (mmb/d) in November 2017 --
APRIL 02, 2018
APRIL 02, 2018

just edging past the prior record of 10.04 mmb/d set 47 years earlier, in November 1970.

• M&A deals in the Permian have frequently been towards the upper end of announced deals,
often in the $35,000 per net acre to $45,000 per net acre range. Recent M&A news, however,
re-sets the range. A temperature gauge of the Permian would show the proverbial mercury
going much, much higher, and we think this has implications for the rest of the E&P space.
