Stock Analysts’ updated eps estimates for Wednesday, August 30th:

Bertrandt AG (ETR:BDT) had its neutral rating reiterated by analysts at DZ Bank AG.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao (NYSE:CBD) was upgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a buy rating. They currently have $26.00 price target on the stock. According to Zacks, “Estimates have been rising since CBD reported improved second quarter 2017 sales, driven by strong improvement in Extra Hiper markets and consistent growth at Assai. However, the reported quarter’s growth was lower than the preceding quarter’s growth. Nevertheless, shares of the company have outperformed the industry over the last six months. Strong customer traffic expansion and increase in sales volume, offsetting the effect of the slowdown in food inflation. Further, higher gross margins and a decline in selling, general and administrative expenses at Multivarejo boosted EBITDA margin. We are encouraged by company’s operating efficiency and productivity projects. Store openings and conversion of Extra Hiper stores to Assai is also boosting sales and will help accelerate the expansion of GPA’s cash-and-carry banner into new cities across Brazil. However, challenging economic scenario in Brazil remains a concern.”

VWR Corporation (NASDAQ:VWR) was upgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a buy rating. The firm currently has $37.00 price target on the stock. According to Zacks, “VWR’s second-quarter earnings report was quite impressive, with both the top and the bottom line beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Geographically, the company recorded growth in Americas during the reported quarter driven by strong sales of equipment and instrumentation. Management is also looking forward to the long-term synergy benefits from the proposed merger with Avantor. The merger is expected to strengthen VWR’s business across the Americas and Europe. While we await the merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 we note that the stock price has already reached close to Avantor’s offer price and hence the short-term upside potential of VWR is limited now. On the flip side, a drop in EMEA-APAC sales was disappointing. Moreover, foreign currency was a major dampener. VWR’s poor margin scenario also raises concern.”
