UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Manitowoc (NYSE: MTW) price target raised from $12 to $16.
UBS analyst says, "While Crane sales rose 40% YoY (UBSe +25%), op. margins of 5.7% (down 50bps YoY) were below the 6.0% we had modeled as margins were negatively impacted by higher commodity costs, production inefficiencies and mix, which more than offset increased sales volume...Reflecting a slower ramp in Crane margins, we are lowering our 2012E and 2013E EPS to $0.75 and $1.55, from $0.80 and $1.70, respectively. While we recognize there could be potential upside to our crane margin forecasts over the next few years, mix is a likely headwind and pricing may take longer to improve than previously modeled."
