UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Actuant (NYSE: ATU) price target raised from $26 to $31.
UBS analyst says, "We no longer factor a US recession scenario into our target prices given improving US macro data and recent Euro area leading indicators that have surprised to the upside. Admittedly, there’s an element of marking to market in our action. We’re also making modest estimate updates and re-visiting valuation more broadly...With shares at a low 7.0x our NTM EBITDA (L5Y range 6-10x) and our view the fundamental outlook is tracking better, we remain constructive on ATU shares."
UBS slightly raises FY12/13 EPS from $1.96/2.19 to $2.00/2.20.
