Nomura Securities on Industrials: Q1 Preview - Dover (DOV) Still A Top Idea

Nomura Securities on Industrials: Q1 Preview by Shannon O’Callaghan

Key themes: 1) DOV is our top idea into earnings: we think the market is mispricing Dover’s Energy assets. 2) We expect discrete trends to strengthen exiting 1Q, which should benefit the discrete automation parts of ROK and EMR and short-cycle industrial parts of HON, DHR, and others though more in the June quarter than the March quarter. 3) Process markets continue to be robust. 4) March Q could still be tough for EMR but we like the stock. The potential for a cut to annual guidance ($3.45-$3.60) is likely already priced in.
