After the close, Oppenheimer initiated coverage on Nordson (NASDAQ: NDSN) with a Outperform rating and $64 price target.

"Our Outperform is based on consistent operational improvements, a solid growth profile with market-leading positions, and a reinvigorated M&A platform (est. recent deals add ~17% growth to run rate)," states analyst Christopher Glynn. "We note '12E operating profit of 1.7x pre-recession peak ('08), and EPS at 2.0x, with very little contribution from acqs."

Glynn said the company's growth profile should benefit from a highly global footprint to leverage global leadership in dispensing technology to the packaging and consumable products industries, technology conversions and mobile devices, and materials substitution.
