Buy

Reason

DA Davidson lowered the firm's price target on EVI Industries to $35 from $40 but keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company's top-line numbers missed the firm's estimate by well under 1%, though it also got the sense that the management felt it could do more, the analyst tells investors in a research note. EVI has also accelerated its one-time investments in its industry-first e-commerce, CRM, and appointment systems, each of which will lead to operating leverage once fully operational, the firm added.
