Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Xylem (NYSE: XYL) price target raised from $30 to $32.

Analyst, John Quealy, said, "Given lots of noise this quarter given the recent spin-out (first public call), we like the execution through this complex process (with management now able to focus efforts more fully on growth-orientated endeavors). We continue to find Xylem well positioned to benefit from compelling secular drivers in water, with risk/reward attractive at current levels, in our view."

"Our estimates adjust slightly to account for reported results. Specifically, 2012 revs/adjusted EPS remain at $4.0B/$1.85; while 2013 goes to $4.2B/$2.08 (from $4.2B/$2.05)."
