Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Hexcel Corp. (NYSE: HXL) price target raised from $22.00 to $26.00.

Jefferies analyst says, "Hexcel delivered a surprisingly strong Q3 2011. EPS more than doubled to $0.32 from $0.16 in the year ago period. Our estimate and consensus was $0.27. We are raising our EPS estimates for 2011 through 2013 to $1.25, $1.35, and $1.50, from $1.17, $1.30, and $1.45, respectively...While there may be a modest amount of restocking in the channel, we are raising our revenue forecast to $1.4BB from $1.365BB. We continue to project highsingle to low-double digit revenue growth for the company over the next several years. The base for growth is higher than we had previously expected. We grow operating margins to 14% on gross margins in the 25% range."
