Equities research analysts at BMO Capital Markets decreased their price target on shares of Thor Industries (NYSE: THO) from $55.00 to $50.00 in a research note issued to investors on Monday. The firm currently has an “outperform” rating on the stock.

The analysts wrote, “THO reported 2Q13 EPS of $0.37, which was $0.03 below our $0.40 expectation and $0.01 below Street consensus of $0.38. Prior to the company’s 2/4/13 preliminary 2Q13 sales release, the Street consensus estimate was for EPS of $0.37. The company reported EPS of $0.25 in 2Q12. The market remains concerned about margin pressure emanating from a competitive RV market, and increasing channel inventories.
