The company is on track to explore numerous investment options for expansion and acquisitions to broaden its geographic presence and product portfolio. However, currency headwinds continue to impede growth." (8/2/2017)
• 2. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "Not just a margin and M&A story anymore as investments drive sustainable reacceleration in organic growth: We are lifting estimates and raising our price target to $272 after taking a closer look at MHK's significant recent growth investments. Our 2018 sales/EPS estimates are now 3% above the Street. Historically, we've viewed MHK as a margin story with sustainable productivitydriven margin improvement and strong M&A capabilities. However, we now see an important transition underway with these investments driving a reacceleration in organic growth to levels amongst the highest in our large-cap coverage, while still supporting best-in-class profitability and leaving the balance sheet strong. This creates a story which should hold broader appeal across both growth and value investors. Reiterate Overweight and Top Pick. Raising 2018/2019 estimates on stronger revenue growth and better productivity: We now estimate '18/'19 revenue of $10.12/$10.65 bn (prior $9.98/$10.33 bn) and adj. EPS of $14.72/$16.25 (prior $14.45/$15.46). We've adjusted '17 estimates lower due entirely to a shift in timing in reduced patent revenues/earnings into '17 from '18." (3/20/2017)
• 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "In many ways, we view the 2017 outlook as a very typical year for Mohawk, which should demonstrate the company's ability to continue to drive margin expansion despite certain start-up expenses and the expected loss of IP earnings. Overall, management is expecting $100+ million of EBIT headwind in 2017, but as the company has over the years, there should be productivity gains, mix enhancements, and volume growth with acquisition growth to drive earnings. We are increasing our EBITDA estimate and target price, which is now $255, based on 12x our 2017 EBITDA estimate." (2/13/2017)
