Barclays on U.S. Machinery/E&C: Industrial Select Conference Highlights - Opportunities for Growth
Analyst, Andy Kaplowitz, said, "With 10 of our companies having participated in the recent Barclays Industrial Select Conference, we highlight three key themes that emerged. While European uncertainty persists, Machinery/E&C companies remain generally positive in their outlooks; margins have not yet peaked; and; the overall environment for E&C companies is generally improving. Higher oil, currency volatility, and lack of China visibility are key concerns expressed by investors, but we think these issues seem manageable."
"Following the conference, Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) remains our top pick. While all of our presenting companies were generally positive in their outlooks, we continue to favor CAT given the best combination of still strong mining, improving developed world construction, and increasing margins. We also think that Joy Global (NYSE: JOY) remains well positioned in international mining equipment markets, which could offset a weakening near-term outlook for U.S. coal."
