As previously reported, Gabelli analyst Brett Harriss resumed Meredith with a Buy rating following its Q2 earnings beat this week, speculating that the stock could rally on a potential "separation of the company's broadcast and publishing business could be a catalyst for shares." The analyst contends that each business appeals to different investors, who would then be able to evaluate their prospects more effectively. Harriss further states that a stand-alone broadcast business would be an attractive acquisition target for a larger TV station operator in the environment of consolidating industry.
