MOST NOTEWORTHY: New York Community Bancorp, Gushan Environmental and Central European Distribution were today's noteworthy initiations:
- Citigroup believes New York Community Bancorp (NYSE: NYB) is uniquely-positioned to benefit from the current operating environment and expects loan growth, NIM expansion, and good credit to boost EPS growth over the next year. The firm initiated shares with a Buy rating and $19 target.
- Oppenheimer said Gushan Environmental (NYSE: GU) benefits from the Chinese government's policies encouraging growth of renewable fuels; shares were initiated with an Outperform rating and $14 target.
- Jefferies initiated Central European Distribution (NASDAQ: CEDC) with a Buy rating and $66 target and views the company as a pure play on rising disposable incomes, particularly in Poland where it is headquartered.
