Deutsche Bank Initiates Coverage On 17 U.S. Machinery Stocks
Deutsche Bank initiated its coverage on the U.S. machinery sector with a cautious view. Analysts Nicole DeBlase and Saree Boroditsky believe natural resource markets have bottomed. However, they expect the industry to record only low-single-digit organic growth until the year 2020.
The brokerage picked up Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) as the top pick, citing gains from restructuring. In all, 17 companies' shares were initiated with coverage. Of these, only three stocks merited a Buy rating, while two stocks are rated at Sell. The remainder elicited Hold ratings.
Deutsche Bank pointed out that machinery volume remained lackluster while industry organic growth is not inspiring. The brokerage believes that the low-single-digit growth would continue in the next two to four years.
