Industrial Names That Haven’t Gotten Ahead of Themselves

Fri, 29 May 2009 19:19:27 GMT

As the more bullish investors continue to invest in financial and IT names, it would seem that the vast majority of market movers are taking profits off of the table in the industrial sector of the economy. But while the money seems to be rotating out of the early-cycle names that seem to have gotten ahead of themselves, many of which are up considerably from the bottom, I reiterate that there remains significant opportunity in cyclical-aerospace. Why Industrials Lost Their “Mojo” Over the length of the past stock market[More...]

Mixed Results, Despite Higher Revenues, for General Dynamics

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:48:00 GMT

The Falls Church, Va.-based defense contractor, however, reported strong gains in revenues and operating earnings for its Marine Systems division, which includes the Electric Boat shipyard in Groton.
Company officials expressed continued confidence in their operations -- especially the demand for defense-related products -- by boosting their forecast for full-year earnings from continuing operations to $6.15 to $6.20 a share, compared to earlier estimates of $6.05 to $6.15 a share.
