Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) Q3 Shows Poor Operating Execution, Say Analysts

Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on Spirit AeroSystems (NYSE: SPR) and cut its price target to $21.00 (from $28.00). Spirit is the world's leading non-OEM designer and manufacturer of aerostructures.

"SPR's Q3:12 results showed improvement in the underlying business, but also displayed the power of poor operating execution," said analyst Howard A. Rubel.

"Core programs have operating leverage, and pricing risk seems modest. From a much lower base, shares could still outperform. We continue to rate SPR a BUY," said Rubel.
