MOST NOTEWORTHY: Full House Resorts, Starent Networks and Capital Trust were today's noteworthy initiations:
- Morgan Joseph said Full House Resorts Inc.'s (AMEX: FLL) valuation does not reflect the present value of its tribal management contract with the FireKeepers Casino. Shares were initiated with a Buy rating and $3.50 target.
- Starent Networks Corporation (NASDAQ: STAR) was assumed with an Overweight rating at Thomas Weisel. The firm said STAR offers a compelling risk/reward profile given strong gross margins and expanding operating margins.
- Keefe Bruyette initiated Capital Trust Inc. (NYSE: CT) with a Market Perform rating and $30 target, and believes the expected deterioration of commercial real estate fundamentals is likely to remain a headwind for valuations of the shares.
OTHER INITIATIONS:
- Thomson Reuters Plc. (NASDAQ: TRIN) was started at UBS with a Neutral rating.
- Piper initiated Heritage-Crystal Clean Inc. (NASDAQ: HCCI) with a Buy rating and $20 target.
- Goldman Sachs initiated The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE: SHW) with a Neutral rating.
