As previously reported, Stifel upgraded Parker-Hannifin to Buy from Hold and established a $141 price target. Analyst Nathan Jones recent distributor survey results indicate Parker-Hannifin will beat Q1 North American revenue estimates. Jones said distributors expect to see revenue growth (2%) in Q2 FY17 which he believes should be enough for Parker to see its first positive year-over-year revenue comp company wide in 6 quarters. The analyst said consensus is currently forecasting a slightly negative Q2 top line comparison. which should help investors get comfortable that the worst of the current downturn is behind Parker.
