Craig-Hallum analyst Kevin Ellich lowered his price target for Patterson Companies(PDCO) to $41 from $46 to reflect the soft dental consumable environment and potential market share losses once Henry Schein (HSIC) starts to sell CEREC on September 1. Given the lower valuation and good, stable end markets, the analyst thinks Patterson Companies could be an "interesting target" for a financial buyer as cash flow should start to improve over the next few quarters once the company completes the ERP implementation. He reiterates a Hold rating on Patterson Companies' shares.
