UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Eaton Corporation (NYSE: ETN) price target raised from $48 to $51.
UBS analyst said, "ETN's stock underperformed yesterday after reporting a ~$0.10 4Q sales driven op. miss and providing 2H12 weighted guidance. Mgmt believes weakness is temporary (driven mostly by large project delays) and expects continued strength in the U.S., a mild recession in Europe, and continued softness in Asia; however, it anticipates a 2H recovery in the latter two regions. Bookings improved in Electrical ROW and Asia last month (although not necessarily a trend), backlog in Electrical Americas remains solid, non-res is improving, and stimulus is expected to buoy emerging markets later this yr."
UBS lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $4.55 to $4.40 and FY13 from $5.43 to $5.00.
