Goldman Sachs Downgrades General Dynamics Corp. (GD) to Sell; Gulfstream Risk

Goldman Sachs downgraded General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE: GD) from Neutral to Sell, price target cut from $68 to $56.

Analyst, Noah Poponak, said, "Weakest “social contract” and Gulfstream risks: GD appears more focused on acquisitions at a time when growth prospects are particularly challenged than dividend and buyback. At Gulfstream: book-to-bill has turned down decisively, Jet Aviation challenges remain, and the G650/250 timelines still have risk of sliding."

Additional concerns include exposure to: 1) Gov't/IT services revenues are challenging; 2) Exposure to Army and war effort; and 3) challenges at Gulfsteam.
