Aerospace & Defense electronics: Deutsche Bank A&D 2Q preview
Deutsche Bank notes commercial aero stocks are about flat YTD on avg while defense stocks have appreciated 9%. Commercial stocks have taken a pause after last year's strong performance, while defense stocks continue to perform well (though have underperformed the overall market over the past 3 mos). DB thinks the current breather being taken in commercial stocks is healthy, but will turn up post better 2Q earnings season and into the Farnborough Air show.
SAF FP : 31/07- As such, Deutsche Bank likes Boeing (BA), Hexcel (HXL), General Dynamics (GD), and Embraer (ERJ) into the Q.
- In the note, DB raised target prices:
- UTX to $130 from $127; Buy
- GD to $126 from $122; Buy
- LLL to $131 from $130; Buy
- BEAV to $95 from $94; Hold
