Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lennox International stock:

• 1. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We hosted a positive, upbeat, bullish meeting with the management of Lennox International including CEO Todd Bluedorn, CFO Joe Reitmeier and VP, IR Steve Harrison. We were also joined by CTO Prakash Bedapudi, who led an impressive Product Development and Research Tour at LII's R&D center, highlighting Lennox's continued strong product leadership (26 SEER anyone?) and competitive advantage on product/component testing and speed to market. The key message of the meeting was that the business environment is consistent with 4Q16 call commentary ('steady as she goes') with still solid industry fundamentals, and continued confidence in guidance of MSD top-line growth (3-7% official guide per 4Q call) for 2017 and over the longer term. 1Q17 was characterized in a similar vein, though CEO Bluedorn did note 'weather has been a little warm' and March is the deciding, decisive month of 1Q (40-50% of revenue). Management did note that homebuilder sentiment remains strong (where LII enjoys outsized market share, vs. mid to high teens overall) and the 10,000+ dealer network remains confident. Bottom line, 'Steady as She Goes'; No change materially to EPS Guidance or relevant inputs; we think trends sound OK to good (likely slight positive read through to WSO, UTX, and IR). Reiterate Hold, $180 target price based on 20x our 2018E EPS of $9.00." (3/22/2017)
