Stifel says Steinhoff news may be good for Tempur Sealy, bad for Leggett & Platt

Stifel analyst John Baugh noted that Steinhoff shares are down more than 60% in Frankfurt after its CEO resigned amid an investigation into irregular accounting practices. He believes the news could benefit Tempur Sealy (TPX), a sales competitor to Steinhoff’s Mattress Firm, and could also benefit Sleep Number (SNBR) to a lesser extent. Baugh also thinks this could be bad news for Leggett & Platt (LEG), which has Steinhoff as an important customer.
