Staples, Inc. Research Report
Staples, the world's largest office supplies provider, rose by
as much as 13 percent after its competitors announced a potential
merger. According to analysts from Janney
Montgomery Scott, Staples would benefit from the OfficeMax
and Office Depot deal by gaining market share as its rivals close
stores and execute a multi-year restructuring program. In the
long-term, the company may also benefit from its acquisition of
European rival Corporate Express, as well as geographical
expansion. Earlier this year, the company announced the launch of
Staples brand products in Japan,
bringing its products to one of the world's biggest markets. The

OfficeMax Incorporated Research
Report
There is news that OfficeMax is discussing a potential merger
with Office Depot. The deal could potentially help the company
benefit from cost cutting through synergies, and it would give the
company leverage with suppliers. According to Sanford C. Bernstein, retail analyst for
Colin McGranahan, "Consolidation
would address the office supply sector's disadvantaged industry
structure." Furthermore, KeyBanc analyst Bradley Thomas estimates that a merger would
yield at least $300 million in
synergies and around $400-$500
million over three years. The merger also has support from
OfficeMax's third largest shareholder, Neuberger Berman, who said
he approves of the merger depending on the terms of the deal.
Shares for the company rose by as much as 20 percent following the
report, and many believe that the deal could be announced as early
as this week. The Full Research Report on OfficeMax Incorporated -

United Stationers Inc. Research
Report
United Stationers reported record revenue and earnings per share
for both the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2012. The wholesale distributor of
business products commented that diluted earnings per share for the
quarter were up 25 percent to 81
cents. Furthermore, the company benefited from its recent
acquisition of O.K.I. Supply Co., which is expected to contribute
12 percent of total revenue. The company saw growth on many of its
segments and executed a successful cost-control strategy. Following
the strong results, analysts at Wunderlich increased the company's
price target from $32 to $39. Besides United Nations' strong results,
analysts also believe that a consolidated Office Depot and
OfficeMax would rely on United Stationers to ensure healthy
inventory levels and superior customer service in the short term.

Deluxe Corporation Research Report
Deluxe reported impressive fourth quarter 2012 financial results
with revenue up 6 percent and adjusted EPS up by 14.5 percent to
95 cents. Deluxe CEO Lee Schram comments that the adjusted EPS
exceeded the company's outlook due to strong performances from the
Small Business Services and Financial Services divisions. He notes
the OrangeSoda acquisition in the second quarter as a driver for
revenue growth and expects this trend to continue. Over the year,
the company has worked to make large expense reductions and has
refinanced some of its long-term debt. Analysts comment that Deluxe
is well positioned to take advantage of a rebounding economy and
are confident of its long-term growth. As more businesses grow,
Deluxe may benefit from higher demand for its services. While The
