1409 ET - Papa John's International could fetch a per-share acquisition price in the low-$60 range that would be compelling for existing shareholders, Stifel analysts say in a research note. An offer in that range could generate a 5-year annualized return of about 20%, assuming several bullish scenarios regarding Ebitda growth and increased financial leverage, the analysts say. They completed a leveraged buyout analysis on the company to understand what it could be worth to a private buyer. The analysis comes after unconfirmed reports that Apollo and a Qatari investment fund made a bid for the pizza chain. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
