What are Wall Street analysts saying about Lindsay stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lindsay stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Lindsay is poised to gain from focus on growth objectives, business simplification and capital-allocation plan. It expects to achieve operating margin performance between 11% and 12% in fiscal 2020. Lindsay recently completed the sale of its Watertronics and LAKOS businesses in line with the Foundation for Growth initiative. The divestment will simplify its business and help focus on core commercial irrigation and infrastructure sector. Its irrigation business will benefit from FieldNET Advisor. In addition, the U.S. tax reform will drive earnings. However, Lindsay’s results will be hurt by a tough agricultural market in North America. Also, elevated costs, lower infrastructure spending and tariffs on steel prices remain major headwinds. Moreover, the stock has underperformed the industry over the past year." (10/4/2018)
