After The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg said that Time Warner Cable has received a preliminary approach from Europe's Altice, Wunderlich estimated that TWC is worth $180 on an organic-only basis but that Altice could have latitude for a nominal deal price near $200 per share given the high value of Altice's equity. Applying the same multiple as what Altice just paid for Suddenlink to a deal for TWC yields a $230 takeout price, though this would be a "big reach," the firm added. Wunderlich has a Buy rating and $180 price target on Time Warner Cable shares.
