Loop Capital raised the firm’s price target on Aaron’s to $10 from $8 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm cites the company’s announcement that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by IQVentures for $10.10 a share. Loop adds that while the acquisition multiple seems relatively low, it reflects Aaron’s weak performance over the past several quarters and the company’s ill-timed purchase of BrandsMart. The firm also notes that competing bidders are not likely to emerge.
