Liz Claiborne, Inc. (LIZ) Given "Outperform" Rating by Imperial Capital Analysts

Equities research analysts at Imperial Capital reiterated an "outperform" rating on shares of Liz Claiborne, Inc. (NYSE: LIZ) in a research note to investors on Tuesday. The analysts currently have a $4.99 price target on the stock.

The analysts wrote, " We maintain our BUY rating on LIZ's 5% euro-denominated senior notes due 7/8/13 (5s) at a price of 89 (10.44% YTM). We continue to believe LIZ has sufficient liquidity (plus the ability to monetize certain non-strategic assets) to support operations and generate significantly higher EBITDA in 2011E, potentially improving its average debt leverage to 5.1x using the midrange of 2011 guidance of $110mn. We still think LIZ might tap the currently favorable high yield market to refinance the 5s, boosting potential returns.
We also maintain our Outperform rating on the common stock at a price of $4.New shopjacket electric markets have spurred significant investment in new generation.99, with a valuation of $12 per share, based on a sum-of-the-parts analysis and the potential for the company to exceed management's profitability target of $180-$220mn EBITDA in 2012. While the expected operational turnaround is taking longer than investors had expected, it doesn't change the inherent value of these brands, in our view. Furthermore, once the turnaround is well underway, we believe profitability will be significantly improved and that growth will reward investors for their patience. Nonetheless, we are reducing our 2011 EBITDA estimate to $110mn from $177mn, reflecting management's new guidance."

Separately, analysts at Zacks Investment Research downgraded shares of Liz Claiborne, Inc. from a "neutral" rating to an "underperform" rating in a research note to investors on Friday, January 14th.
