APU, UGI

As previously reported, Jefferies analyst Christopher Sighinolfi upgraded UGI Corporation (UGI) to Buy from Hold and downgraded AmeriGas Partners (APU) to Hold from Buy after the company's recent announcement that UGI will acquire AmeriGas's publicly-held LP units for cash and stock. He views the deal as a "logical solution" with benefits for both and thinks the merger frees up more than $200M per year in cash for UGI while also resulting in EPS accretion and enhanced optionality without any step-out in risk. Since the merger terms implies a $37.50/unit valuation for AmeriGas, the total return potential falls short of the firm's Buy threshold, Sighinolfi said.
