JPMorgan downgrades Illinois Tool Works, cuts price target to $277 amid cautious industrial outlook

JPMorgan downgraded Illinois Tool Works (ITW) from Overweight to Neutral and lowered its price target from $350 to $277, citing a cautious outlook for short-cycle industrial companies and limited earnings growth potential.

This downgrade reverses JPMorgan's July upgrade, signaling increased caution on ITW's near-term prospects amid fair valuation concerns.
