Mizuho analyst Brett Linzey has revised the price target for Pentair (PNR, Financial), lowering it from $115 to $100, while maintaining an Outperform rating. This adjustment comes as the firm anticipates slower near-term demand and evaluates the potential effects of tariffs, particularly those related to China, on financial outcomes.
Despite first-quarter performance largely meeting expectations, the focus has shifted away from these results due to various recent developments. According to the research note, the escalation of tariffs could pose significant challenges for companies, as some price increases may not fully offset the additional costs.
In response, companies are proactively adjusting prices. However, Mizuho anticipates there could still be unaddressed drawbacks affecting the bottom line. This cautious outlook on the sector reflects broader concerns regarding the impact of trade policies on multinational operations.
