Jefferies downgraded Donaldson Company (NYSE: DCI) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $33.00 (from $43.00) after lowered guidance from the company.
The firm comments, "In isolation, Donaldson's Q1 miss could be viewed as simple lumpiness (our prior $1.85 estimate was within the company's new $1.68-$1.88 range, vs. $1.89 consensus). Given a broader range of companies warning on demand trends into early 2013, however, Donaldson's relative valuation could be at risk. We are lowering 2013E and 2014E EPS by $0.05 each, our target $10 to $33 (10.5x calendar 2014E EBITDA) and our rating to HOLD."
The firm cut FY13 EPS from $1.85 to $1.80 and FY14 from $2.05 to $2.00.
