They currently have a $8.00 target price on the stock. </p>
<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We are initiating coverage of Halcón with a Neutral rating and Dec-2013 price target of $8.00. HK is an E&amp;P company focused on building a portfolio of oil and liquids-rich gas assets. Its three core plays are exciting, in our view, but two of the three are relatively new and, in the newer plays, we have limited relevant well data, which causes us to take a somewhat conservative approach to valuation. Management also wants to sell the company ultimately, as it has done with three prior companies. The valuation appears to be at a premium with the group, but management&#8217;s track record of identifying and successfully developing early stage plays causes us to initiate at Neutral.&#8221;</p>
<p>Halcon Resources traded down 4.47% on Wednesday, hitting $6.41. Halcon Resources has a 1-year low of $2.25 and a 1-year high of $13.35. The company&#8217;s market cap is $1.358 billion.</p>
<p>A number of other firms have also recently commented on HK. Analysts at Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on shares of Halcon Resources in a research note to investors on Wednesday. They set a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating and a $9.00 price target on the stock. Separately, analysts at BMO Capital Markets cut their price target on shares of Halcon Resources from $10.00 to $9.00 in a research note to investors on Wednesday, October 24th. They now have an &#8220;outperform&#8221; rating on the stock. Finally, analysts at Canaccord Genuity initiated coverage on shares of Halcon Resources in a research note to investors on Friday, September 28th. They set a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating and a $11.00 price target on the stock.</p>

(NASDAQ: CLNE)</span> was downgraded by equities research analysts at Piper Jaffray from a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating to an &#8220;underweight&#8221; rating in a research note issued to investors on Wednesday. They currently have a $9.00 price target on the stock, down from their previous price target of $11.25. </p>
<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;While the market was closed due to Hurricane Sandy, natural gas engine maker Westport Innovations (WPRT) guided 2012 revenue lower. Reasons for the guide-down included macroeconomic uncertainty as well as the &#8220;delayed availability of liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure&#8221;. We expect this latter statement to weigh heavy on shares of CLNE, which is the nation&#8217;s largest builder/owner/operator of LNG fueling stations. CLNE had originally planned on opening 150 roadside LNG stations by the end of 2013 (and ~70 by the end of 2012), but we believe this schedule will prove unrealistic.&#8221;</p>
<p>CLNE has been the subject of a number of other recent research reports. Analysts at KeyBanc initiated coverage on shares of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. in a research note to investors on Tuesday, September 18th. They set a &#8220;hold&#8221; rating on the stock. Analysts at Jefferies Group initiated coverage on shares of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. in a research note to investors on Tuesday, September 11th. They set a &#8220;hold&#8221; rating and a $15.00 price target on the stock.</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We continue to believe fair value is somewhere in the $15–$22 range based on a net asset approach updated for the Q3 release. An earnings or cash flow based approach would point to values on the lower end of that range. If the company could sustain the most recent results it would be trading at a PE of 31x. The last time EPS excluding special items was above the dollar mark was 2007. Though in hindsight, buying the stock in the teens would have been a profitable move, we still find that price barely justified on fundamental metrics.&#8221;</p>
<p>Weyerhaeuser traded up 1.61% on Wednesday, hitting $27.81. Weyerhaeuser has a 1-year low of $15.40 and a 1-year high of $28.82. The company has a market cap of $14.992 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 48.02.</p>
<p>Weyerhaeuser last released its earnings data on Friday, October 26th. The company reported $0.22 EPS for the quarter, beating the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of $0.18 by $0.04. The company had revenue of $1.79 billion for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.79 billion. The company&#8217;s quarterly revenue was up 12.9% on a year-over-year basis. Analysts expect that Weyerhaeuser will post $0.49 EPS for the current fiscal year. </p>
<p>A number of other firms have also recently commented on WY. Analysts at Deutsche Bank raised their price target on shares of Weyerhaeuser from $23.00 to $25.00 in a research note to investors on Monday. They now have a &#8220;hold&#8221; rating on the stock. Separately, analysts at BMO Capital Markets  reiterated a &#8220;market perform&#8221; rating on shares of Weyerhaeuser in a research note to investors on Monday. They now have a $28.50 price target on the stock, up previously from $26.50. Finally, analysts at DA Davidson  reiterated a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating on shares of Weyerhaeuser in a research note to investors on Tuesday, October 23rd. They now have a $27.00 price target on the stock.</p>

They currently have a $79.00 target price on the stock. </p>
<p><a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>&#8216; analyst wrote, &#8220;Edwards reported EPS of $0.58 in the third quarter of 2012, surpassing the <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a> Consensus Estimate by $0.02 and the year-ago quarter&#8217;s adjusted EPS of $0.38. Sales increased 8.5% to $447.9 million, in line with the preliminary result but lagged the original guidance of $465-$485 million. The disappointing performance was primarily due to lower-than-expected THV sales due to economic uncertainties in Europe, coverage issues for certain inoperable patients in US and later-than-expected approval of Sapien in high-risk patients. Given these headwinds, the company lowered its outlook for 2012. We also prefer to avoid the stock and accordingly downgrade it to Underperform.  &#8220;</p>
<p>Edwards Lifesciences traded up 0.18% on Tuesday, hitting $87.15. Edwards Lifesciences has a 1-year low of $61.59 and a 1-year high of $110.79. The company has a market cap of $10.083 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 38.82.</p>
<p>Edwards Lifesciences last released its earnings data on Friday, October 19th. The company reported $0.58 EPS for the quarter, beating the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of $0.56 by $0.02. The company&#8217;s revenue for the quarter was up 8.5% on a year-over-year basis. On average, analysts predict that  Edwards Lifesciences will post $2.56 earnings per share for the current fiscal year. </p>

They currently have a $47.00 price target on the stock. </p>
<p><a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>&#8216; analyst wrote, &#8220;Cabela&#8217;s third-quarter 2012 earnings of $0.60 per share came in line with the <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a> Consensus Estimate but rose 20% year-over-year buoyed by robust performance of next-generation stores, higher merchandise margins and strong growth at the Cabela&#8217;s CLUB Visa program. Merchandise gross margin expanded 70 basis points to 37.4%. Management now anticipates 2012 earnings to be at the upper end of the prior guidance range of $2.63 to $2.68 per share. For 2013, the company expects earnings to increase at least at a low double-digit rate. Total revenue grew 9.2% to $741.2 million but fell short of the <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a> Consensus Estimate of $750 million. Moreover, the quarter&#8217;s downside was the decline in the Direct business. Revenue for the segment came in at $196.8 million, down 6.7% year over year due to lower demand for softgoods and footwear, and absence of shipping income from CLUB customers. Direct operating margin also shriveled 220 basis points to 15.4%. Given the pros and cons embedded in the stock we prefer to be on the sidelines at this juncture. &#8220;</p>

Analysts at Imperial Capital  reiterated an &#8220;outperform&#8221; rating on shares of Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated in a research note to investors on Friday.

They now have a $47.00 price target on the stock, down previously from $63.00. Finally, analysts at Feltl &#038; Co. downgraded shares of Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated from a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating to a &#8220;hold&#8221; rating in a research note to investors on Thursday, October 25th. They now have a $50.00 price target on the stock.</p>
<p>Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated traded down 2.06% on Tuesday, hitting $45.15. Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated has a 52-week low of $21.51 and a 52-week high of $56.78. The company has a market cap of $3.161 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 18.82.</p>

<p><a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>&#8216; analyst wrote, &#8220;United Therapeutics suffered a major setback in October 2012 with the FDA issuing a complete response letter for the company&#8217;s lead pipeline candidate, oral Remodulin. Shares were down 15.6% on the news. While United Therapeutics said that it intends to gain approval for the candidate within four years, we have low visibility on the company&#8217;s development plans for the candidate. Although we believe United Therapeutics&#8217; existing PAH product portfolio will drive strong top-and bottom-line growth, we prefer to remain on the sidelines until we gain more information on the company&#8217;s plans for oral Remodulin. We are, therefore, downgrading the stock to Neutral with a $48 target price. &#8220;</p>
<p>Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. Analysts at Summer Street downgraded shares of United Therapeutics from a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating to a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating in a research note to investors on Wednesday, October 24th.

Finally, analysts at JPMorgan Chase downgraded shares of United Therapeutics from a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating to an &#8220;underweight&#8221; rating in a research note to investors on Wednesday, October 24th.

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We are downgrading to Equal-weight with a base case of $42 because the growth acceleration component of our thesis is less likely to materialize. … A weaker pipeline outlook and slower CRM recovery make 2013 sales acceleration less likely.  Our prior view was based on a five year pipeline analysis, but required near-term catalysts to improve visibility.  We expected a CRM recovery and pipeline execution to drive a sales growth inflection into 2013 and subsequent multiple re-rating. Diligence at the TCT cardiology conference reduced our enthusiasm for multiple pipeline programs, and CRM remains sluggish.&#8221;</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;In our report last week, we highlighted issues with a furnace in Mexico likely to pressure earnings into year end.  However, the latest OCTG market data suggest additional headwinds as actual US OCTG demand markedly has dipped below apparent demand (driven by distributor purchases), with inventories building from 4 to nearly 6 months worth of demand (typically 4 to 5 months is viewed as healthy).  Furthermore, pricing pressure has reached premium grades of OCTG, following steadily decreasing prices for commoditized grades of welded and premium tubes.  … We have lowered our volume expectations on lower US demand and growing inventories, and have reduced our pricing and margin assumptions accordingly.&#8221;</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;Cloud Peak has an excellent position as the lowest-cost producer in the lowest-cost U.S. coal basin coupled with a strong balance sheet and management team.  BMO Research&#8217;s thesis when we upgraded the stock in  March was that as the lowest-cost producer in the PRB, CLD could compete at very low natural gas pricing and would outperform peers.  Now that natural gas has rebounded and the coal market appears to be strengthening, Cloud will still benefit, but higher-cost peers may now be the outperforming stocks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Separately, analysts at Morgan Stanley initiated coverage on shares of Cloud Peak Energy in a research note to investors on Monday, October 8th. They set an &#8220;equal weight&#8221; rating and a $20.00 price target on the stock.</p>

<p>Cloud Peak Energy last posted its quarterly earnings results on Thursday, October 25th. The company reported $0.80 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.48 by $0.32. The company&#8217;s revenue for the quarter was up 4.7% on a year-over-year basis. Analysts expect that Cloud Peak Energy will post $1.97 EPS for the current fiscal year. </p>
<p>Cloud Peak Energy Inc. (Cloud Peak Energy) is a producer of coal in the Powder River Basin (PRB). The Company&#8217;s operations include three wholly owned surface coal mines, two of which, the Antelope mine and the Cordero Rojo mine, are in Wyoming and one of which, the Spring Creek mine, is in Montana.</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We are downgrading partly due to the lack of forward catalysts and partly due to the lack of valuation upside. Following its 2Q12 earnings and recent Investor day, we believe investors already expect the following: (i) top-line growth acceleration in 2H12, (ii) modestly higher 2013 growth rate vs. 2012; and (iii) good understanding of positives such as new client revenue ramps and product traction as well as negatives such as Bank of America renewal impact and client loss. While we continue to like Fiserv&#8217;s market positioning, we doubt there is much scope for positive surprise in the next several months – in fact, given the growth rate acceleration has been stubbornly slow, the bias may be to the downside.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other equities research analysts have also recently issued reports about the stock. Analysts at <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>  reiterated a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating on shares of Fiserv in a research note to investors on Friday. They now have a $79.00 price target on the stock. Separately, analysts at JMP Securities  reiterated a &#8220;market perform&#8221; rating on shares of Fiserv in a research note to investors on Wednesday, October 24th. Finally, analysts at &#8211; Cowen and Company  reiterated an &#8220;outperform&#8221; rating on shares of Fiserv in a research note to investors on Monday, October 22nd.</p>
<p>Fiserv opened at 75.25 on Monday. Fiserv has a 1-year low of $53.91 and a 1-year high of $76.25. The company has a market cap of $10.209 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 18.82.</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We downgrade SCHN to Sell from Neutral with 28% potential downside to our new P/E and EV/EBITDA based $21 price target (vs. 2% upside for the coverage group). We cut our FY2013 estimate by 25% (to $1.50 from $2.00) on lower margin and volume assumptions.  We believe issues of shredder overcapacity, which has depressed margins for the industry, are now also impacting SCHN at its lucrative West Coast market. We see competition getting fiercer in the East Coast, too. 2013 consensus estimates for SCHN are too high, in our view, implying doubling of earnings while global steel fundamentals indicate only modest growth in steel production next year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. Analysts at DA Davidson upgraded shares of Schnitzer Steel from a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating to a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating in a research note to investors on Friday.

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We expect TNK to continue to pay a dividend, but its capacity is expected to come under the pressure of the low tanker rates, coupled with its expiring charters and its increasing fleet leverage. We estimate that during 2013, TNK&#8217;s daily average rate will drop ~15% from its 2012 levels as charters rollover at lower rates and nearly 65% of its fleet will be open for rechartering growing to 75% in 2014. We therefore expect, TNK&#8217;s annual dividend to decline to ~$0.30 in 2013 from an annualized distribution of $0.44 in 2Q12. Every $1k in market rates affects the dividend by ~$0.04.&#8221;</p>
<p>Separately, analysts at Dahlman Rose cut their price target on shares of Teekay Tankers from $9.00 to $5.50 in a research note to investors on Monday, August 13th. They now have a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating on the stock.</p>

<p>Teekay Tankers last posted its quarterly earnings results on Thursday, August 9th. The company reported $0.01 EPS for the quarter, beating the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of ($0.01) by $0.02.  Analysts expect that Teekay Tankers will post $0.01 EPS for the current fiscal year. </p>

We estimate the company will break even in 4Q12 on non-GAAP measures vs. 1Q13 in previous forecast. Nonetheless, we believe the strong momentum has been fully factored into the stock price. Downgrading to Hold.&#8221;</p>

They currently have a $9.00 price target on the stock, down from their previous price target of $13.00. </p>
<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We have been constructive on FSL since initiating coverage on the company after its IPO. While we have been hopeful for margin expansion and top line growth, it has not happened. With the need to invest in new products and a transition to ARM-based architectures ahead, we see little left to squeeze out of opex. Moreover, the $6.5B in debt limits the company&#8217;s ability to invest in the business and acquire new technology. The company is undergoing another restructuring &#8211; phasing out investment in standalone DSPs, power management and some sensors. We believe the realignment of the business units will do little to drive growth, expand margins or minimize the weight of the debt near term, particularly given the macro headwinds. We are cutting numbers, reducing our price target and downgrading to Neutral.&#8221;</p>
<p>Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. Analysts at Barclays Capital  reiterated an &#8220;equalweight&#8221; rating on shares of Freescale Semi in a research note to investors on Wednesday, October 10th. Separately, analysts at Needham &#038; Company initiated coverage on shares of Freescale Semi in a research note to investors on Thursday, September 27th.

Finally, analysts at Cowen initiated coverage on shares of Freescale Semi in a research note to investors on Wednesday, September 5th. They set an &#8220;outperform&#8221; rating on the stock.</p>
<p>Freescale Semi opened at 9.13 on Friday. Freescale Semi has a 52-week low of $8.43 and a 52-week high of $17.84. The company&#8217;s market cap is $2.265 billion.</p>

They currently have a $27.00 target price on the stock, down from their previous target price of $37.00. </p>
<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;PLXS reported a mixed F4Q-12, but guidance was significantly worse than expected on broad-based demand weakness. With networking unlikely to improve in the near term, and Coke business likely to be subdued on inventory work downs, we no longer see positive catalysts for the shares and are downgrading to Hold from Buy. Longer term, we continue to view PLXS as a well-run, high-margin and high-growth EMS company, but believe demand weakness in end markets will keep the shares range bound in the near term. We are cutting our PT to $27 from $37 and now rate PLXS a Hold.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shares of Plexus opened at 26.30 on Friday. Plexus has a one year low of $23.23 and a one year high of $38.50. The company has a market cap of $923.1 million and a P/E ratio of 15.04.</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We are downgrading Ingram Micro to Underperform on risk around Bright Point integration, industry margin pressure and execution.  While the valuation is attractive, we are becoming more negative and can reassess when some of the risks clear.  We believe Bright Point makes sense strategically (higher growth and profitability markets), although we are concerned with its current portfolio (Nokia 27% of distribution units, RIM 20%, HTC 15% in C2011), challenges in gaining share at vendors like Samsung (19%), and lack of iPhone.  We are also concerned around the margin pressure from competitive pricing, mix, continued investments and execution (incl. Australia).&#8221;</p>
<p>A number of other analysts have also recently weighed in on IM. Analysts at <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>  reiterated a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating on shares of Ingram Micro in a research note to investors on Friday, October 12th.

They set a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating and a $17.00 price target on the stock. Finally, analysts at Credit Agricole initiated coverage on shares of Ingram Micro in a research note to investors on Tuesday, August 14th. They set an &#8220;underperform&#8221; rating on the stock.</p>
<p>Shares of Ingram Micro opened at 15.31 on Friday. Ingram Micro has a one year low of $14.42 and a one year high of $19.80. The company has a market cap of $2.298 billion and a P/E ratio of 8.49.</p>
<p>Ingram Micro last issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday, October 25th. The company reported $0.40 EPS for the quarter, beating the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of $0.38 by $0.02. The company&#8217;s quarterly revenue was up 1.5% on a year-over-year basis.</p>

They currently have a $43.00 target price on the stock, down from their previous target price of $45.00. </p>
<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;Our downgrade is driven by the RESPECT result and the recent FDA form 483 that could result in a Warning Letter for the CRM division. While we believe that DURATA will be exonerated, beginning with the independent analysis in next month&#8217;s Product Performance Report, perceived regulatory risk and skepticism regarding the pipeline (given STJ&#8217;s misplaced focus of the investor base on the trial) will likely offset fading Durata concerns. Upside risk could stem from an optically improving ICD market (due to the lapping of destocking) and/or resurrection of CardioMEMS. There are no changes to our estimates (which did not include any PFO numbers).&#8221;</p>
<p>Shares of St. Jude Medical traded up 0.05% during mid-day trading on Friday, hitting $38.29. St. Jude Medical has a one year low of $32.13 and a one year high of $44.80. The company has a market cap of $12.100 billion and a P/E ratio of 16.07.</p>

<p>STJ has been the subject of a number of other recent research reports. Analysts at JPMorgan Chase  reiterated an &#8220;overweight&#8221; rating on shares of St. Jude Medical in a research note to investors on Friday. They now have a $47.00 price target on the stock. Separately, analysts at <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>  reiterated a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating on shares of St. Jude Medical in a research note to investors on Thursday. They now have a $42.00 price target on the stock.

They currently have a $47.00 price target on the stock. </p>
<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;We are downgrading shares of CAB to Neutral following Q3 results that were below our expectations and our view that upside to estimates will be more limited going forward. Q3 EPS of $0.60 was shy of our $0.61 estimate as both sales and margins were lighter than expected. While the shortfall was relatively small, we are concerned that sales growth will be increasingly costlier in the form of advertising and free shipping. Our new $47 PT (from $63) is based on 15x FY13E EPS and still represents a premium to the 12.4x historical average, which we believe is appropriate given accelerating retail store growth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. Analysts at Imperial Capital  reiterated an &#8220;outperform&#8221; rating on shares of Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated in a research note to investors on Friday.

They now have a $50.00 price target on the stock.</p>
<p>Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated traded down 2.06% on Friday, hitting $45.15. Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated has a 52-week low of $21.51 and a 52-week high of $56.78. The company has a market cap of $3.154 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 19.89.</p>
<p>Cabela&#8217;s Incorporated last issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday, October 25th. The company reported $0.60 EPS for the quarter, meeting the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of $0.60. The company&#8217;s quarterly revenue was up 9.2% on a year-over-year basis.</p>

<p>The analysts wrote, &#8220;The deterioration of NS&#8217; asphalt and fuels marketing segment continues to surprise to the downside and more than offset the growth in its fee-based storage and transportation segments.

Combined with an over-levered balance sheet, we believe the sustainability of NS&#8217; distribution is now at risk. Our $44 target price (from $64) reflects this risk and provides for a -3% total return over the next twelve months.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a>&#8216; analyst wrote, &#8220;Rent-A-Center leverages an extensive network of stores to effectively penetrate its target markets, thereby aiding it to post healthy third-quarter 2012 results. The quarterly earnings of $0.67 per share came in line with the <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a> Consensus Estimate, and rose 11.7% year-over-year. Total revenue rose 5% on the back of higher RAC Acceptance revenue but missed the <a href='http://www.americanbankingnews.com/zacks/'>Zacks</a> Consensus Estimate of $757 million. Management now projects top-line growth between 7% and 8.5% and earnings in the band of $3.05 to $3.15 per share for 2012. The company remains optimistic about its future growth prospects, with store openings in international markets and accelerated rollout of RAC Acceptance kiosks. Due to continued tightening of the credit market, customers see rent-to-own as a more viable option to credit. However, the sluggish recovery and a fragile job market may make customers reluctant to enter new rental-purchase deals. Moreover, margins remained under pressure due to higher cost of revenues. Given the pros and cons we prefer to be on the sidelines at this juncture.&#8221;</p>
<p>Separately, analysts at Stifel Nicolaus raised their price target on shares of Rent-A-Center to $44.00 in a research note to investors on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Rent-A-Center traded up 0.73% on Thursday, hitting $33.21. Rent-A-Center has a 52-week low of $31.22 and a 52-week high of $39.50. The company has a market cap of $1.955 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.61.</p>
<p>Rent-A-Center last posted its quarterly earnings results on Monday, October 22nd. The company reported $0.67 EPS for the quarter, meeting the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of $0.67. The company&#8217;s quarterly revenue was up 5.0% on a year-over-year basis.</p>
<p>Rent-A-Center, Inc. is a rent-to-own operator. As of December 31, 2009, the Company operated 3,007 Company-owned stores nationwide and in Canada and Puerto Rico, including 39 retail installment sales stores under the names Get It Now and Home Choice, and 18 rent-to-own stores located in Canada under the names Rent-A-Centre and Better Living.</p>
