Barclays Maintains an 'Overweight' on Cummins (CMI); Outlook Solid Over the Longer Term

Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Cummins (NYSE: CMI) price target of $127.00.

Barclays analyst says, "We think CMI is well positioned to grow earnings over the longer term in a choppy global economic environment. We are buyers of CMI stock after its recent pullback (stock down 13% from its recent peak on 11/4/11 vs. the S&P down 5%) given still positive revenue/earnings growth expected in most of the company's primary end markets in 2012 and beyond."

"CMI is focused on a number of longer term initiatives that we think investors should be excited about. CMI's focus on making its supply chain more efficient could pay dividends (in the form of better margins) as early as 2012, and we think CMI's recently announced joint venture with LiuGong could provide significant longer term growth as CMI pursues the very large Chinese engine market."
