Reason
Citi analyst John Godyn initiated coverage of Ducommun with a Buy rating and $110 price target. The firm launched coverage on 24 stocks in the aerospace and defense sector, saying the group faces a "number of megatrends" across commercial aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, and space. Citi sees these trends creating at least one trillion-dollar market cap company in the coming years. GE Aerospace could get there in as little as five years, Citi contends. The firm calls RTX "the Marquee Megatrend stock" and believes Boeing is an "unusually attractive mega-cap turnaround" story. The analyst expects improving trends in Q4 and continued momentum in Q1 for the sector.

Truist raised the firm's price target on Ducommun to $107 from $95 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company's Q2 results beat expectations as defense strength offset commercial aero destocking, the analyst tells investors in a research note. This dynamic should persist for the remainder of 2025, but the management was still able to reaffirm its outlook, Truist added.
