Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on ESCO Technologies (NYSE: ESE) price target of $33.00.

Analyst, John Quealy, said, "F2012 visibility looks improved on the heels of strong Q1 order flow and strength in Test and Filtration. While management assessed its potential F2012 EPS risk/upside at +/- $0.05 in a transitional year, we watch for an opportunity to get constructive, as continued execution and movement toward better ’13 visibility likely drives multiple expansion."

"Our F2012 revenue estimate gets revised to $730.9M from a prior $720.0M, while EPS remains unchanged at $2.05. Our F2013 estimates are unchanged at $831M/$2.68."
