Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Elster Group SE (NYSE: ELT), PT $20.

Canaccord analyst says, "With several new product introductions and customer wins announced, we find Elster well positioned to compete as the Smart Grid cycle continues in earnest. While Street expectations remain fairly modest, we continue to find the risk/reward compelling at current levels."

"Elster is scheduled to report Q1/11 on Friday, May 6 before the open, with a call at 8am ET. We model revenue/adjusted EPS at $420M/$0.20 vs. consensus at $427.5M/$0.20. We expect Gas to remain strong, yet moderating a bit from Q4 given project timing, while international Water likely outperforms a weather-impacted domestic market. That said, Electricity is poised to lead platform growth moving through 2011."
