Jefferies analyst Laurence Alexander lowered his price target on FMC Corp. (NYSE: FMC) to $88.00 (from $95.00) noting likely deceleration but maintained a Buy rating.

Alexander commented, "We expect slower growth this cycle, with reacceleration plausible after 2020. Slower, however, still means 500bps or more faster than the S&P 500, available for 13.8x 2015E before FMC splits to emphasize its core formulation & R&D-driven technology platforms."

The firm cut FY 2014 EPS from $4.45 to $4.40 and FY 2015 EPS from $5.40 to $5.30.
