Oppenheimer on Multi-Industry Stocks: Adjusting Estimates and Price Targets

Analyst, Christopher Glynn, said, "We are revising estimates downward, but only modestly at this point, for 11 of our covered names to reflect softening economic conditions. We are leaving estimates unchanged for GE (NYSE: GE), Ametek (NYSE: AME), Cooper Industries (NYSE: CBE), Acuity Brands (NYSE: AYI), and Generac (Nasdaq: GNRC) (reflecting mix of recent updates, backlog visibility, acquisitions, end markets, and prior relative conservatism of guidance)."
