JP Morgan Analyst Weighs In On Likelihood On Safeway LBO (JPM,SWY)

Apr 13, 2012 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- 4-13-12-JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) analyst weighed in on the likelihood of a Safeway (NYSE:SWY) leveraged buyout saying the company's pension and recently added debt make it less likely.

The stock has pared opening gains after Ken Goldman's comments circulated.

Safeway's recent moves may indicate a higher likelihood of Reverses Morris Trust (RHT) than a LBO, but wasn't certain RHT was even likely.

Earlier, Safeway was trading almost 5% higher. The company has a market cap of $5.74 billion.

JP Morgan had previously thought the company could be considering corporate action such as an LBO or RMT.

Safeway Inc. operates a retail food and drug chain in the U.S. and Canada. The Company also has a network of distribution, manufacturing, and food processing facilities. Safeway's retail operations are located in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, the Chicago metropolitan area and the Mid-Atlantic region, British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba/Saskatchewan.
