Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Acuity Brands (NYSE: AYI) price target of $81.00.

Analyst, Jonathan Dorsheimer, said, "Results were in-line to slightly better than published consensus, but considerably better than buy-side expectations given the recent sell-off on weak ABI trends and domestic/international policy/growth concerns...While the near-term end markets are likely to remain uncertain, Acuity continues to expand market share and bolster its product portfolio...Our longer-term thesis remains intact as well...We also believe recent M&A activity helps to justify the industry and valuation premium of this macro."
