Auriga Reiterates a 'Buy' on CPI Aerostructures (CVU); Transformational Bids in the Pipeline

Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on CPI Aerostructures (NYSE: CVU) price target of $20.00.

Analyst, Mike Callahan, said, "CPI Aerostructures announced first-quarter EPS of $0.27, which was up 39.6% although results came in light of consensus of $0.33. While it was clear the Street misinterpreted the pattern of earnings in FY12, management did reiterate full-year guidance calling for revenue of $95 million to $98 million and net income of $12 million to $13 million. More importantly, the company announced total bids outstanding of $952 million, which is up sharply from the $282 million at the end of FY11 and includes two large potential contracts for 787 content. With guidance intact, and a potential for transformational contracts on a high profile program, we believe investors will be well rewarded to build a position in CVU, and reiterate our rating and price target."
