Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of Praxair with an Equal-weight rating and an $86 price target.

Analysts Paul Mann, Charles Dan, and Sophia Xia said, "We are initiating coverage of Praxair with an EW rating and an $86 price target.

In our view, Praxair is the highest-quality industrial gas name in the global sector, with the highest historical returns on operating assets and equity; however, at current valuations Air Products appears more attractive over the next 12-18 months."

The bank expects the company to report 2010 EPS of $4.56, versus consensus estimates of $4.62.
