Market Focus11-04

On November 4, Ametek Inc. recorded an Intraday Decline of 3.85% in Regular Trading, trading at $235.72 per share with turnover of $117 million.

The most recent market-moving development was a price-target increase, with Rothschild & Co Redburn raising its target on Ametek Inc. to $285 from $275. However, the stock moved lower even after that update.

Background developments remained fundamentally supportive: the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.21, above the $2.11 consensus, on net sales of $2.22 billion versus the $2.12 billion expectation. It also raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $8.53-$8.57 from $8.20-$8.30, above the $8.38 consensus, and recently completed the Indicor Instrumentation acquisition, which management had said should be modestly accretive this year.
