Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Hexcel Corp. (NYSE: HXL) price target raised $1 to $35.

Analyst, Michael Lew, said, "We see Hexcel flying high at this point on better than expected performances across its various business lines that enabled the company to deliver strong fiscal 1Q12 financial results. The demand for more composite intensive aircraft appears to be the primary driver for a better near-term outlook. In our view, the company is well positioned to benefit from the ongoing aerospace cycle and should benefit from Boeing’s (NYSE: BA) and Airbus’ sizeable backlog." (Needham raises FY12 EPS estimate from $1.40 to $1.53 and FY13 from $1.60 to $1.70)
