Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Xylem (NYSE: XYL) price target of $30.00 (from $33.00).

Analyst, John Quealy, said, "We continue to find Xylem well positioned to benefit from compelling secular drivers in water, with risk/reward attractive at current levels in our view. FX headwinds look to accelerate near-term given a rapidly depreciating Euro (guidance factors 1.31 vs. current ~1.23), while investors stay focused on European concerns. We look for core business trends to remain resilient overall, as weighting toward “break and fix” activity and strong base of recurring revs provides stability. M&A remains a distinct opportunity (most likely in analytics/dewatering), while Industrial should continue to benefit from global mining and dewatering activities."
