UBS reportedly upgraded Time Warner to “Buy” from “Neutral” previously, while also keeping its price target on the stock without change at $108.
Time Warner shares closed higher for a second consecutive trading session on Monday. It has also been the sharpest daily surge since February 1st. The stock went up 1.56% ($1.49) to $96.75, after touching an intraday high at $97.02, or a price level not seen since February 5th ($97.50).
In the week ended on March 11th the shares of the multinational entertainment company added 1.80% to their market value compared to a week ago, which marked the first gain out of three weeks.
The stock has extended its advance to 4.09% so far during the current month, following a 2.51% slump in February. The latter has been the fourth drop out of five months.
For the entire past year, Time Warner shares fell 5.24% following a 49.27% surge in 2016.
Although UBS analyst John Hodulik expects Time Warners acquisition by AT&T to be approved by regulatory authorities, he also notes that Time Warners assets may turn out to be “highly attractive” to other media companies and online-based rivals, in case the arrangement is blocked.
The UBS move comes after AT&T, Time Warner and the US Justice Department filed pre-trial motions.
The UBS analyst also projects an “attractive 4-1 risk reward” for Time Warner shares, thefly.com reported.
