Auriga reiterates a 'Hold' on AAR Corporation (NYSE: AIR) price target raised from $20 to $22.

Auriga analyst said, "AAR reported third-quarter operating results behind expectations, although headline EPS of $0.50 came in $0.02 ahead of consensus on a $0.09 tax benefit. Softness in the quarter stemmed entirely from weaker-than-expected margin performance, as top-line results showed a 16.6% year-over-year improvement. Although we believe a turnaround warrants close attention over the next few quarters, the combination of near-term margin pressure and weak long-term defense visibility keep us on the sidelines. That said, we are adjusting our price target, which reflects a 10x multiple of our FY13 estimate of $2.15."
