Goldman Sachs Downgrades Molex Incorporated (MOLX) to Neutral

Goldman Sachs downgraded Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $24 (down from $25). The firm notes prefers TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL), which was upgraded to By.

The firm notes operating margin of 13.2% in the September quarter was at five-year highs, although they expect the current cyclical downturn to drive a 180 bp reduction through the March quarter. Goldman now sees operating leverage muted near-term relative to the last two years, which removes one of the main catalysts for their prior positive view.
