BofA Securities analyst Andrew Obin has adjusted his forecast for Vertiv (VRT, Financial), reducing the price target for the company from $165 to $135 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. This adjustment comes as part of a broader analysis of the Industrials/Multi-Industry sector's performance for the first quarter.
BofA anticipates that earnings for the sector could either meet or exceed expectations. However, the firm has decided to lower its estimates due to mounting concerns over economic uncertainties and existing tariffs, despite a recent announcement on April 9 of a 90-day halt on reciprocal tariffs.
Investors should note these considerations as potential influences on Vertiv's market performance during the upcoming earnings season.
