After Reuters reported earlier today that Jack in the Box (JACK) is exploring options that could include a sale of the company, Baird analyst David Tarantino said he would not rule out the possibility of a sale and "at a minimum" the speculation should help put a floor under the stock in the short run. He sees Sonic (SONC), which has agreed to be bought by Inspire Brands, as the closest comparable to Jack in the Box. The analyst noted that at a similar EBITDA multiple as Inspire agreed to pay, Jack would be worth roughly $115 per share. Tarantino has an Outperform rating on Jack in the Box with a $98 price target.
