Dougherty & Co upgraded Astronics (NASDAQ: ATRO) to Buy with a price target of $41.00.
Analyst, Richard A. Ryan, said, "At current levels, ATRO is trading roughly in line with peers at 7x -8x 2013 EBITDA, 13x – 14x 2013 EPS and 1.5x 2013 EV/Sales. The macro environment across ATRO’s end markets remains attractive and the sector is likely to maintain positive momentum going into the summer air shows. From a company-specific standpoint, we believe ATRO’s execution should remain strong as new airframe platforms start to contribute to results."
Adjusting numbers: 2012 sales of $257.6M and EPS of $1.84 from sales of $244.2M and EPS of $1.84...2013 sales of $283.6M and EPS of $2.20 from sales of $2694M and EPS of $2.15.
