RBC Capital analyst Gary Bisbee raised his price target on ServiceMaster to $52, forecasting a 9% reduction in 2018 effective tax rate that will boost this year's EPS by about 14%. The analyst is "neutral" on the company over the near term following the strong run in its stock price since May, but expects a more positive outlook for the longer term on better performance at Terminix and higher valuation in the wake of American Home Shield spin-off. Bisbee keeps his Sector Perform rating on ServiceMaster.
