As previously reported, Buckingham analyst Matthew Brooklier downgraded Wabtec to Neutral from Buy and lowered his price target on shares to $81 from $93, with the analyst citing North American freight rail fundamentals being weaker than anticipated, and now seeing greater impact from Precision Scheduled Railroading, or PSR, efforts at multiple Class I rails. Brooklier believes these factors could cause downward pressure in Wabtec's legacy Freight and GET operations, which could result in earnings disappointments over the next year.
