Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Mohawk Industries stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Mohawk’s shares have underperformed its industry in the last six months.  Earnings estimate for the current quarter and year have also declined by 0.5% and 0.1% respectively, over the last 30 days. Currency translation is a major concern as Mohawk generates almost one-third of its revenues from customers outside the United States. Currency headwinds hurt sales in 2016 by $69 million and in 2015 by $490 million. Despite the fact that the unfavorable currency impact has lessened, and is expected to improve through the rest of 2017, the net impact of currency headwinds still remains significant. Though, the company is currently exploring numerous investment options for expansion, including Greenfield opportunities and acquisitions to broaden its geographic presence and product portfolio, we await better visibility."

• 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)
