Help: Security Analysis (ITW)

[correia]

Hoping some of you stock gurus can help me with a project in my Investments class. I basically have to analyze the common stock of Illinois Tool Works (ITW). The problem is I have no idea what I'm doing. I have to reach an actionable conclusion (buy,sell, or hold) and generate a value for ITW based on my own forcast of future performance. Any thoughts or ideas you guys have would be greatly appreciated.
