Broker snap: JPM changes view on Invensys, Smith

Date: Thursday 04 Sep 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - JP Morgan has moved its ratings on technology companies Invensys and Smiths Group in opposite directions on valuation grounds.

It upgraded engineer Invensys to ‘neutral’ from ‘underweight’, saying that the US appliance market was near a trough.

However, it now has an ‘underweight’ rating on Smiths Group, which supplies equipment for sectors such as defence, healthcare and oil, from ‘neutral’ previously. The downgrade was made on the grounds of ‘high valuation, low earnings quality and too high expectations on new strategy,’ JPM said.

The broker also trims its target price on Invensys to 332p from 335p and on Smiths to 1,075p from 1,150p.
