UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Esterline Tech (NYSE: ESL) price target raised $10 to $65.

UBS analyst says, "Our FY12 EPS estimate moves $0.25 higher to $5.25, reflecting 10% growth from $4.75 on a recurring basis in FY11 after adjusting for Q3 f/x gain and Q4 acquisition-related charges. In FY12, we see $0.50 in incremental EPS primarily driven by aerospace growth ($0.75) and Souriau accretion ($0.40), partially offset by defense downside from declining supplementals ($0.25) and slip in C-130 upgrade programs for Saudi Arabia ($0.25), along with higher tax rate ($0.15)."

"ESL will report its Q1 on March 1 and at $0.58 our EPS estimate is below consensus at $0.63, but above ESL’s Q1 guidance at $0.40-0.50."
