Broker snap: Ad exposure to hurt BSkyB

Date: Tuesday 19 Aug 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - JP Morgan has dropped its target price on broadcaster BSkyB to 480p from 560p, citing the company’s exposure to under-pressure advertising revenues.

The broker, which has an ‘underweight’ rating on BSkyB, is reducing its earnings per share estimates for the company by 10% for both 2009 and 2010.

It notes that the current target price offers just 2% upside potential based on BSkyB’s current share price.

“In our view, valuation is not compelling, especially given downward risk to estimates,” JPM said.
