** New PT shows a downside of 1.4% from the stock's last close

** Brokerage says co has gained market share recently, aided by strong products and pricing, with long-term revenue seen from parts and services despite low initial pricing

** Co beat Q3 estimates, driven by strong demand for energy equipment linked to the AI boom
