Reason
BofA analyst Andrew Obin downgraded Flowserve to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $73, up from $60. Following a recent re-rating, the firm believes near-term nuclear upside is priced into shares, the analyst tells investors. In addition, the firm thinks weakness in Flowserve's core end markets of oil & gas and chemicals likely extends into 2026, the analyst added.

Reason
UBS raised the firm's price target on Flowserve to $82 from $65 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. While the firm's gut response is to tap the brakes after such an abrupt and much better than expected outcome, aspects of the company's update should have sustainable impact, including the nuclear opportunity enabling a higher and less cyclical long-term growth rate and asbestos removal supporting a higher valuation multiple, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
