Wells Fargo upgraded Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE: IR) from Market Perform to Outperform, price target range raised to $44-46 from $30-32.
Wells analyst says, "We are admittedly not early to this name, but we continue to believe there is a potential double over the next four to five years given near-term catalysts (i.e., a potential for upside to the company’s 2012 guidance) that should enable investors to consider the longer-term potential of sustained earnings growth over the next several years. The stock has realized good appreciation year to date (i.e., up 24.6% versus S&P 500 up 7.3%). Our longer-term expectation for the stock to potential double is based on 13-14x potential $5.50-6.00 in earnings power based on $20-22 billion revenue, 13.5-14% EBIT margins, and recently reduced share count."
