Jefferies Lowers Price Target On Alliant Techsystems (ATK) After Mixed Q4 Results

Jefferies cut its price target on Alliant Techsystems (NYSE: ATK) from $77 to $72 but kept its Buy rating following fourth quarter earnings were a "mixed-bag."

The firm comments, "While revenues were lower than we forecast, ex an accrual for a previous lawsuit, profitability was quite strong. With a challenging outlook from a drawdown in Afghanistan and constrained defense spending, ATK is taking the opportunity to restructure the business. We view that announcement, plus a share repurchase program as a positive shift in strategy."
