Reason
TD Cowen initiated coverage of Astronics with a Buy rating and $65 price target. The firm says Astronics is a market share leader in aircraft in-seat power systems. The company should post 30% earnings growth in 2026 and 10% growth in 2027 on over 7% sales growth, the analyst tells investors in a research note. TD believes "investor awareness of the stock is low and can expand."

Reason
Truist raised the firm's price target on Astronics to $58 from $49 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing Q3 results in Aerospace and Defense. Sentiment surrounding aircraft OEM production is increasing, and the firm is favoring MAX-exposed suppliers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm also notes that aftermarket demand trends continues to be buoyed by passenger travel strength, engine shop visits, and new aircraft supply chain challenges, though it sees Defense as a bit more nuanced as the government shutdown looms over Q4 and FY26 outlooks.

Reason
Truist upgraded Astronics to Buy from Hold with a price target of $49, up from $32. The firm says Astronics has $95,000 of line fit content on the 737MAX with the potential to see total content push to $150,000, depending on airline buyer furnished equipment. The company is a beneficiary of ramping MAX production, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist sees Astronics's MAX annual revenue tracking to 8%-10% of total sales over 2026 and 2027. The fir now has a higher degree of confidence in its margin and growth assumptions.
