UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on IDEX Corp (NYSE: IEX) price target of $41.00 (from $43.00).
Analyst, Robert Barry, said, "Our take on 2Q: hurt by revenue pressure, some at high decrementals...Our core growth and margin outlook falls in 2012/13 and we see little opportunity of n/t acceleration, other than a better macro, while NIH-funding uncertainty poses downside risk. Our 2012E core growth falls 350bp in FMT and 400bp in HST but rises 100bp in FSD. Cuts reflect 2Q results/orders and weaker end market outlooks. Aggressive cost actions should bolster margins, but we’re taking our 2012E HST margin estimates down 150bp, FMT up 50bp, with FSD stable."
FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $2.84 to $2.68 and FY13 from $3.18 to $2.99.
