Evaluating Goodrich’s Earnings
GR recently announced its 2nd quarter earnings and delivered a rock solid quarter. The aerospace company had an excellent quarter with strong organic sales growth of 17%, including double-digit growth in each of its 4 market channels. They also raised their full year outlook to $4.80 to $4.95 range, significantly up from $4.30 to $4.45.
Fundamental Analysis of GR’s current stock price
As we mentioned in our opening, value stocks are in and there is no other way to define Goodrich’s share price. It currently trades at only 10 times expected earnings. When you compare Goodrich’s forward PE to the company’s 17% growth rate, it’s a bargain. In fact we did a little research, in the past 10 years every time GR’s PE has been under 10, its earnings were declining. The company has said they are well positioned to grow through 2009 as airlines try to become more fuel efficient. A PE of 10 also represents a 35% discount to its peer group despite having one of the industry’s highest growth rates. Adding to our confidence is a PEG ratio of .7, a 40% discount relative to the average aerospace stock, and a return on equity of 23.63%.

- All the short term moving averages are crossing above their longer counterparts.
- The Stock recently closed above its 50 day moving average for the first time in nearly 3 months.
