A report from Reuters about Avaya (AVYA) possibly being acquired by private equity has put the stock back on investors' radars, BWS Financial analyst Hamed Khorsand tells investors in a research note. He believes the "misunderstanding" of the company's business had "created a significant value gap." The analyst notes, however, that the news report suggests a takeover bid of $20, which is well below his price target of $32. The delta between the reported takeout price and the $32 target is predominately set on how much debt private equity would be willing to put back on Avaya's balance sheet, Khorsand contends. The analyst continues to believe there is "considerable possibility" of Avaya purchasing technology to fill-in its cloud offering. However, that should not prevent a going private bid, says Khorsand. He has a Buy rating on Avaya.
