S&P REITERATES HOLD OPINION ON SHARES OF COOPER INDUSTRIES
(Standard & Poor's)
We are keeping our Q1 EPS estimate of $0.69, despite some negative impact from foreign exchange swings, and our full year '10 forecast of $2.83. These are in line with today's reiterated CBE guidance. Over the next several years, performance in the U.S. should lag relatively, as we see emerging markets becoming more important to the company, as those markets expand more rapidly. We see cash flow and balance sheet strength supportive of acquisitions and other potentially value-adding actions. On a blend of DCF and P/E analyses, we keep our $48 target price.
