Roth/MKM lowers Hyster-Yale stock price target to $50 on reduced visibility

Investing.com - Roth/MKM has lowered its price target on Hyster-Yale Materials Handling (NYSE:HY) to $50.00 from $62.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The stock, currently trading at $37.96, has experienced significant pressure, falling nearly 28% over the past six months. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is trading below its Fair Value, supporting Roth/MKM’s positive stance.

The adjustment follows Hyster-Yale’s second quarter 2025 financial report, with Roth/MKM citing "reduced visibility" as the primary reason for the price target reduction.

The research firm noted "significant uncertainties" remain for Hyster-Yale through the second half of 2025, despite maintaining its positive long-term outlook on the materials handling equipment manufacturer.

Roth/MKM continues to view Hyster-Yale as "an undervalued GDP-plus-type grower with solid long-term growth prospects," according to its analysis of the company’s fundamentals.

The firm expects multiple expansion as Hyster-Yale’s strategic investments in a new modular platform approach and supply chain optimization efforts deliver improved financial performance, with "major actions now underway" that are expected to "drive material improvement" through future business cycles.
