Jefferies lowers its price target on Cummins, Inc. (NYSE: CMI) from $130 to $126 following second-quarter earnings results yesterday.

Cummins reports earnings of $2.41 per share on revs of $4.64 billion, both beating Street estimates. Cummins also increased its outlook for FY11.

Jefferies notes management said China revenue will show moderate growth in the second half. On that, Jefferies says, "[management] maintained its forecast for 25% total China revenue growth for the year and highlighted other China opportunities going forward."

On raised guidance, "Assumptions include Engine revenue growth of 45%, Distribution growth of 30%, Components growth of 35%, while PowerGen growth remains 20%. The forecast also incorporates incremental margins of ~21%, as cost headwinds have largely been offset by pricing and efficiency."

Jefferies boosted its fiscal 2011 EPS estimate from $8.50 to $8.90 and fiscal 2012 estimate from $10.50 to $10.75.
