Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW) price target from $56 to $61.00.

Analyst, Andy Kalpowitz, said, "ITW reported a generally solid 1Q12, which we think is largely reflective of good execution in spite of some mixed end markets and highlights the potential in ITW's diverse business model. Although there were some puts and takes in ITW's 1Q12 results, including base and total revenue growth below our expectations offset by better-than-expected margins in most businesses, we think that the good North American growth seen in 1Q12 could continue to sustain results despite slower growth expectations overseas. We were also intrigued to see ITW highlight its strategic initiatives of siness simplification, strategic sourcing and portfolio management."

Barclays raises FY12 EPS estimates from $4.15 to $4.25 and FY13 from $4.65 tto $4.70.
