DA Davidson initiates coverage on Acuity Brands (NYSE: AYI) with a Neutral. PT $62.00.
Analyst, Brent Thielman, said, "Acuity’s shares trade at a modest premium to historical average multiples and its closest public peers. The company is an industry leader in lighting for non-residential construction, a market we believe is entering a phase of recovery following a multi-year downturn. Growth in newer product categories such as LEDs and lighting controls offers exciting long-term prospects, although it also offers near-term risk as the company invests heavily."
