Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' Hexcel Corp. (NYSE: HXL) price target of $34.00.
Analyst, Michael Lew, said, "In our view, Hexcel is well positioned as a strategic supplier of carbon fiber to a commercial aerospace sector that is undergoing a secular shift toward more composite-intensive aircraft. We are increasing our near-term estimates to reflect the onset of a ramp-up in build rates as airplane manufacturers work off a large backlog of orders. Our bullish view is based on the company's strong financial visibility in these uncertain economic times."
Needham raises FY12 EPS estimate from $1.35 to $1.40. FY12 revs from $1.514 bln to $1.548 bln.
