Reason

The company reported segment EBIT which was inline with FactSet consensus expectations, with strength in Auto OEM and Poly/Fluid offsetting weaker performance in Test & Measurement and Electronics segment and Welding, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm maintains its FY25 EPS but modestly lowers its out year estimates given weaker growth trends.
