Cost Plus
The casual home furnishings retailer reached a deal to be acquired by Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) for $22 a share in cash, or about $500 million.
"We do not believe Bed Bath & Beyond intends to re-brand stores for either company, and instead believe Cost Plus will continue to pursue its expansion plans of opening new stores under the Cost Plus banner," Wedbush analysts wrote in a report Thursday.
