UPDATE - Barclays initiates coverage on Rexnord (NYSE: RXN) with an Overweight. PT $26.00.

Analyst, Scott R. Davis, said, "With long-term potential for value creation in the neighborhood of names like Roper (NYSE: ROP), Danaher (NYSE: DHR), Ametek (NYSE: AME), and IDEX (NYSE: IEX), Rexnord (RXN) could be one of the most interesting special situation stocks that we now cover. The company has multiple value creating levels and none of them appears to be overly heroic. There is risk for sure but upside if RXN gets it right will likely be outsized."

Davis points to five particular drivers for the stock: 1) Core businesses have plenty of tailwinds through 2014; 2) higher incremental margins; 3) Look for RXN to increase leverage and pay down debt; and 4) Market ripe for consolidation, so bolt-on or larger acquisition may be in the cards; and 5) Young, aggressive management team.
