October 1, 2008 12:15 PM EDT

Citi downgrades Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE: IR) to Hold. Price target $35.

Citi analyst says, "IR stock has a relatively compelling valuation story, particularly given the current configuration of its business portfolio has historically garnered higher multiples than traditional 'highly cyclical machinery businesses'. However, with this decade having marked a shift in investors' desire for more pure play stories leveraged to extended cycle infrastructure/commodity stories with global breadth, IR's business mix shift has not been in favor."

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR Limited) operates in three business segments: Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies.
