Oppenheimer reiterates an 'Outperform' on IDEX Corp (NYSE: IEX), lowers price target from $55 to $50.

Oppenheimer analyst said, "We attended meetings with IEX CFO Heath Mitts and discussed an overview of the company's long-term strategic goals, near-term business trends and overall macro environment. While macro fears remain heightened, business fundamentals remain encouraging, and at this point, even across the shorter cycle businesses, and continue to reflect a picture in line with management's current guidance. With shares down 27% since July, we believe are pricing in a worst-case scenario. IEX remains our top pick."

"Our '11E remains $2.50. We are comfortable with our 3Q estimate. Our '12E is now $2.95 from $3.05 on more conservative assumptions given the current
environment."
