B. Riley FBR analyst Barton Crockett downgraded Sinclair Broadcast (SBGI) to Neutral from Buy and lowered his price target for the shares to $33 from $36. The $1B share buyback following the collapse of the Tribune Media (TRCO) deal is offset by Sinclair "being in a penalty box with sellers," Crockett tells investors in a research note. He believes the company is unlikely to participate in an "attractive wave of mergers sweeping the TV station group." Further, the analyst also sees some risk that Tribune prevails in its $1B lawsuit against Sinclair over the failed merger.
