Monday, April 29, 11:23 AM "We believe 2H guidance could be conservative," says BMO analyst Karen Short of GNC Holdings' (GNC +1.4%) outlook. Shares sank Friday after the company left its FY13 guidance unchanged at $2.75-2.80 (analysts expect EPS to come in at the very top of that range). Citing a reasonable valuation, high return on invested capital, and expectations for higher traffic stemming from the new Member Pricing program (which Short inquired about on the call ), BMO reiterates its Outperform rating on the shares and raises its price target to $50.

Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 12:11 PM According to a recent study, it appears that taking a multivitamin daily could reduce the risk of cancer. A large clinical trial of nearly 15K older male physicians followed for more than a decade found that those taking a daily multivitamin experienced 8% fewer cancers than the subjects taking dummy pills. Researchers say that it's a statistically significant reduction, and the findings will be presented today at an American Association for Cancer Research conference. Vitamin Shoppe (VSI +1%) and GNC Holdings (GNC +0.3%) both move higher on the report. 3 Comments [Healthcare]
