Oppenheimer raised estimates and their price target on Outperform-rated Cooper Industries (NYSE: CBE) from $70 to $75.

"While investment in global growth initiatives, coupled with some temporary operating issues around a production consolidation and some procurement & delivery issues, negatively impacted 2H11 margins, we believe that growth investments are already supporting top-line results and operating leverage is well poised to recover to about 25% incremental margins," the firm notes. They see a further runway on multiple expansion to track more in line with some mid-cap electrical equipment peers.

FY12 EPS goes from $4.25 to $4.35 and FY13 from $4.80 to $4.90.
