UBS has drawn up a list of possible candidates for leveraged buyouts, pointing to 27 potential companies including Limited Brands Inc. (LTD.N) and Aeropostale Inc. (ARO.N), according to Barron's. Barron's, in its April 18 issue, said the list includes a "sizable number of retailers" because they tend not to buy one another, "leaving the field open to financial purchasers." The UBS list also includes RadioShack Corp. (RSH.N), Men's Wearhouse (MW.N), Nordstrom Inc. (JWN.N) and Ross Stores (ROST.O), among the retailers, according to the article. Outside of retail, UBS ranks Ingram Micro (IM.N), Sealed Air (SEE.N) and Tech Data (TECD.O) among the possible targets.
