Hansen Natural (HANS): Goldman Sachs Says $52 On Its Own or $70 in Buyout

Hansen Natural Corp. (HANS-NASDAQ) was added to the Americas Buy List at Goldman Sachs with a potential 30% return expected based on a $52.00 price target because of new discounted cash flow and revised P/E targets.  Interestingly enough, Goldman said that Hansen could have significant upside as a takeover candidate, and based on the Vitamin Water purchase it could even fetch $70.00 per share.  Another bonus is the focus of management can focus on growth rather than the Budweiser distribution problems and the options investigations now that those are completed.  Goldman also noted that new products and expanded geography will help the top-line.   Shares of HANS are trading up almost 4% pre-market above $41.00.  Its 52-week trading range is $24.75 to $52.72, and the market cap as of the close was roughly $3.6 Billion.

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.

However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
