KeyBanc downgrades Gardner Denver (NYSE: GDI) from Buy to Hold.
KeyBanc analyst says, "We continue to view the long-term story at GDI favorably, as the Company has benefited from management changes and a sharpened focus on cost....Moreover, we believe that management is positioning the Company well to better capture aftermarket opportunities through product redesigns, which should add a stabilizing factor to demand and bolster profitability mix. That said, amid what we believe is a solid execution story over the long term, near-term demand fundamentals remain a headwind. In addition to a weak outlook for the domestic natural gas production environment, we believe further deterioration in European industrial demand and markets for Engineered Products (particularly OEM and engineered packages) present near-term earnings risk. As a result, we are reducing our 2009E to $2.30 from $2.35 and 2010E to $2.05 from $2.30...While we would likely revisit GDI shares upon a pullback or an improvement in demand fundamentals (particularly in Engineered Products), we believe a patient approach is warranted in the current environment and are downgrading GDI shares..."
