“We are lowering our investment rating on shares of Amphenol from Buy to Hold. We see the connector supplier, arguably the best run company in our coverage universe, well positioned to continue to outgrow its peer group through technological leadership and a diversified customer base. Shares have appreciated 25% YTD vs. up 17% for the S&P 500. That said, we now see shares fairly valued, near peak multiples, trading at 18.8x our FY14 EPS estimate of $4.32 (vs. Street of $4.27), above its five-year forward multiple of 15.5x, and at 12.2x our FY14 EV/EBITDA, above its average of 9.75x. Although we could see a modest beat-and-raise over the next two quarters, we do not see any meaningful upward earnings revision in sight (barring a significant M&A transaction). Indeed, we continue to see a very mixed picture on the demand front, as evidenced last night by tepid earnings forecasts from storage OEM NetApp and semiconductor supplier Analog Devices. We also note that our forward estimates reflect peak margins. As such, we find it difficult to raise our $80 price-target based on further multiple expansion and move to the sidelines. We remove our $80 price target.,” the firm’s analyst commented.

“Our auto parts thesis remains intact. And AZO keeps their focus, growing margin and buying back stock – and the summer heat generating winter-seeded breakage is starting to occur. A non-winter from 2011-2012 reduced parts breakage for the following year and we are now starting to see delayed breakage flow through the model. One month is not a trend (as management noted) but our proprietary Retail READ consumer survey continues to show auto parts breakage accelerating into May. The combination of stronger topline and improving product margin trends could drive earnings higher throughout the remainder of the calendar year, and subdued gasoline prices means even discretionary spending may happen (assuming macroeconomic trends do not worsen). Industry strength bodes well for ORLY (Buy, $112.21) and AAP (Hold, $87.18) as well, though fiscal calendar differences mean AAP 1Q13 (reporting on Thursday 5/23) will have somewhat less exposure to better trends into April/May.

Apache (NYSE: APA) had its neutral rating reiterated by analysts at Zacks. They currently have a $88.00 price target on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “We like Apache’s large geographically-diversified reserve base, its balanced exposure to natural gas and crude oil, and its multiyear trends in reserve replacement and production growth. A pristine balance sheet helps the company to capitalize on investment opportunities and strategic acquisitions, thereby further improving growth visibility. However, we see limited upside potential for shares, taking into consideration Apache’s sensitivity to gas/oil price volatility, its drilling results, costs, geo-political risks and project timing delays. As such, we expect Apache to perform in line with the broader market and, therefore, maintain our Neutral recommendation.”

BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) had its neutral rating reissued by analysts at Zacks. They currently have a $300.00 price target on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “BlackRock’s first-quarter 2013 earnings easily surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The results were primarily driven by increased top line, partially offset by a rise in operating expenses. Further, improved assets under management (AUM) were the tailwind for the quarter. The company’s enhanced capital deployment activities and acquisition plans will prove accretive to its overall performance going forward. Also, its initiatives to improve market share in ETF business is commendable. However, elevated cost structure and high dependence on fee-based revenue are causes of concern. Further, we remain apprehensive about the effects of persisting macro economic issues, low interest rate environment and stringent regulatory landscape on its profitability and growth.”

Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) had its neutral rating reiterated by analysts at Zacks. They currently have a $44.00 target price on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Comcast reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of 2013. While net income outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate, revenues fell below the same. The company’s Cable business continued to beat market expectations, which helped the company to generate a record high free cash flow. Comcast is investing heavily across its NBC Universal portfolio. The company has also completed its major technical innovations, such as DOCSIS 3.0, all digital networks, and a multi-platform content delivery network. Furthermore, newly launched services such as Xfinity Home, Wi-Fi, X1, Streampix and high-speed Metro Ethernet are the several long-term growth catalysts for the company. However, continued loss of video customers is a concern. Nevertheless, following last year’s 47% stock price growth, we are apprehensive of restricted market gain in the near term. We reaffirm our Neutral recommendation on Comcast. “

Hercules Tech. (NASDAQ: HTGC) had its neutral rating reaffirmed by analysts at Zacks. They currently have a $13.50 price target on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Hercules’ first-quarter 2013 distributable net operating income (DNOI) came in ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were primarily aided by considerable improvement in total investment income. However, higher interest expense and loan fees as well as increased operating expenses were the headwinds. Hercules is comfortably placed to expand its portfolio, given its robust liquidity position. Additionally, we believe that the company will continue gaining from the increasing market demand for venture capital investments. Further, Hercules’ strong capital position and capital deployment activities are expected to boost investors’ confidence. Despite these positives, the sluggish economic recovery makes us apprehensive. We also remain wary of the company’s investment and credit management strategies.”

Coca Cola (NYSE: KO) had its neutral rating reiterated by analysts at Zacks. The firm currently has a $44.00 target price on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Coca-Cola’s first-quarter 2013 earnings of $0.46 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Moreover, earnings grew 5% year over year as revenue decline was offset by significantly improved margins. Revenues declined 1% as benefit from volume growth was offset by currency headwinds, structural changes and two fewer selling days in the quarter. Overall, it was a decent quarter for the cola giant. We are encouraged by Coca-Cola’s global reach, strong brand power, expanding international presence, powerful global bottling network and its solid cash position. Moreover, the integration of Coca-Cola Enterprises’ bottling business and the company’s productivity initiatives are expected to result in significant cost savings. However, muted volume trends of carbonated beverages and challenging consumer spending environment concern us. We thus, maintain a Neutral recommendation with a target price of $44.00.”

Quicksilver Resources (NYSE: KWK) had its neutral rating reissued by analysts at Zacks. Zacks currently has a $2.25 target price on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Quicksilver Resources started the year with a soft performance as results failed to match expectations. However, Quicksilver’s conclusion of the exploration agreement with Royal Dutch Shell and promising results from the Horn River play could boost future prospects. Moreover, its aggressive pursuit of downstream development options in the U.S. as well as Canada will act as tailwinds. It is also effectively working to reduce its debt level via sell-off of non-core assets. However, government regulations and fluctuating commodity prices might continue to act as deterrents to the company’s growth. Also, reliance on third parties for marketability of production would prove to be a major constrain. We retain our Neutral recommendation on the stock.”

Lexmark International (NYSE: LXK) had its neutral rating reaffirmed by analysts at Zacks. The firm currently has a $33.00 target price on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Lexmark’s first quarter results were decent with both the top and bottom lines surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Quarter results came below the year-ago period but were better than expected. Guidance for the second quarter was deterring, reflecting inkjet exit and macro uncertainty. Though acquisitions (Twistage and AccessVia) made during the quarter, renewed focus on the software space and growing demand for its MPS solutions could win back lost market share, their impact on results could still be some way off. But, stiff competition from key players such as Hewlett-Packard Company, Canon Inc., Epson and Samsung, advent of digital technology and e-commerce and board-based weakness in the printing market are major concerns. We maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock.”

Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) had its neutral rating reissued by analysts at Zacks. They currently have a $54.00 target price on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Medtronic reported 4Q13 and FY13 adjusted EPS of $1.10 and $3.75, up 11% and 8% year over year and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 and $3.69, respectively. Revenues in 4Q13 and FY13 came in at $4.459 billion and $16.590 billion, up 4% and 5% at CER, exceeding the corresponding Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.388 billion and $16.521 billion. On the bright side, the quarter reflects positive momentum as the company showed improvement in core CRDM and pacing segments after several weak quarters. Further, guidance for the ongoing fiscal boost confidence. Also, focus on portfolio expansion along with an objective to boost revenues from emerging markets is encouraging. However, looming headwinds such as soft economic condition, touch competition, segment pressure, and currency headwinds keep us on the sidelines. Currently we are Neutral on the stock.”

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (NYSE: MTU) had its neutral rating reissued by analysts at Zacks. They currently have a $7.00 price target on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Mitsubishi UFJ reported results for the fiscal year ended Mar 31, 2013 with net income declining. Higher G&A expenses with decreased net interest income were the negatives for the year. Yet, the key positives were growth in deposits and loans along with reduced credit costs. Gross profits also remained at an elevated level. Going forward, we expect Mitsubishi UFJ’s strong business model, diversified product mix, and higher gross profits to boost its bottom line. Additionally, the company expanded its scope of engaging in a global strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley into new geographies and businesses. However, we are concerned about the heightening competition and volatility in the Japanese economy. “

Novatel Wireless (NASDAQ: NVTL) had its neutral rating reiterated by analysts at Zacks. Zacks currently has a $3.50 target price on the stock. Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Novatel Wireless reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of 2013. While the total revenue was ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, quarterly earnings were below the same. However, revenues declined on an annualized basis, which was mainly attributable to subdued performance in the Mobile Computing Product segment. Suffering continuous losses may jeopardize Novatel’s balance sheet, going forward. Competitions from Asian manufacturers coupled with a highly concentrated customer base are other headwinds. However, management is hopeful that the company’s 4G MiFi intelligent hotspots and Expedite embedded solution will gain market traction. Novatel is upgrading its existing customers to its innovative 4G LTE product suite. We maintain our Neutral recommendation on Novatel.”

Rue21 (NYSE: RUE) had its neutral rating reiterated by analysts at Janney Montgomery Scott.
