With Q4 earnings season "largely complete" for the Industrial Machinery names he covers, Raso notes that most companies posted EPS beats on revenues overpowering weak margins.
The analyst is swapping small-to-mid cap exposure from Oshkosh to Timken on relative valuation after earnings as he downgrades the former to In-Line and upgrades the latter.
Raso mentions that the target multiples across the group have been lowered to reflect higher interest rates and slightly lowered 2022 EPS estimates.
