Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 0.7%. The upgrade places Illinois Tool Works in the top 20% of the more than 4,000 stocks covered by the Zacks Rank system in terms of estimate revisions, a position Zacks says implies the stock might move higher in the near term.
