Zacks Investment Research Analysts Reiterate a ?Neutral? Rating on ...

Liberty Global Inc (NASDAQ: LBTYA)?s stock had its ?neutral? rating reaffirmed by equities research analysts at Zacks Investment Research in a research note issued to investors on Monday. The analysts currently have a $38.00 price target on the stock.

Zacks? analyst wrote, ?Liberty Global continues to perform well supported by strong demand for its digital TV services, faster-speed of broadband networks, and triple-play bundled services. We believe that the long-term potential of Liberty Global is much more visible now after its decision to acquire the third largest cable operator in Germany, Kabel Baden and disinvestment of the Australian operation, Austar. Western Europe became an extremely lucrative segment for the cable operators. These markets are witnessing growing demand for pay-TV services coupled with triple-play bundled services that combines video, Internet, and telephony. Liberty Global already purchased the second largest German cable MSO, UnityMedia. The enlarged entity is expected to takeover the market share from the incumbent Kabel Deutschland. However, the regulatory delays are major concerns. We therefore, reiterate our long-term Neutral recommendation on Liberty Global. ?
