BMO Capital has revised its price target for Hexcel Corporation (HXL, Financial) from $68 to $52, while maintaining a Market Perform rating on the company's stock. According to analyst John McNulty, the decision stems from ongoing supply chain disruptions in the aerospace sector, which continue to pressure Hexcel's financial performance.
A significant factor impacting Hexcel's earnings is the A350 aircraft, which has substantial involvement from the company, and has been particularly affected by these supply issues. Additionally, slower production rates of the A320 and 787 models have further complicated Hexcel's recovery, compounding the challenges the company faces in navigating the current industry climate.
The adjustment in the price target reflects the intricate dynamics within the aerospace industry and anticipates continued volatility as Hexcel works through these hindrances.
