Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell adjusts price targets for several multi-industry companies.

* Mitchell expects inflation to boost sales for multi-industry companies in Q4, but he sees margin pressure in the near term.

* The analyst's 2022 earnings estimates are slightly above consensus, and he thinks Street numbers need to be more backend loaded.

* The stronger U.S. dollar is also an "emerging headwind," says Mitchell.
