  • The analyst initiated Lennox International Inc. LII with an Underperform rating and a price target of $295, implying a downside of 9.28%.
  • Linzey says stock sentiment is poor due to concerns around tough comparisons heading into 2022 and the maturity of the residential replacement cycle in the U.S.
  • The analyst sees more volume downside potential next year and potentially even in 2023 for Lennox.
  • The analyst initiated Johnson Controls International PLC JCI with a Buy rating and a price target of $93, implying an upside of 17.6%.
