Barclays Bumps Up Price Target For Several Multi-Industry Companies

Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell adjusts price targets for several multi-industry companies.

• Mitchell expects inflation to boost sales for multi-industry companies in Q4, but he sees margin pressure in the near term. 
• The analyst's 2022 earnings estimates are slightly above consensus, and he thinks Street numbers need to be more backend loaded. 
• The stronger U.S. dollar is also an "emerging headwind," says Mitchell.
