Buysider: Machinery Preview: ++ITW, +CAT, & URI, = TKR

Blog hero image

Our preview of the machinery sector. Our coverage includes: CAT, CMI, DCI, EMR, GGG, ITW, MTW, PNR, ROK, TKR, URI, and WAB (we don’t sell research, only data). The take aways are:

  • Organic sales growth (OSG) should accelerate on a 1- and/or 2-yr basis, indicating faster industry / macro growth.
  • We expect upside in OSG for ITW, in-line to better for CAT and URI, and in-line for TKR.
  • Should you want to see any of the other names LMK.
