		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. The growth of the Aerospace and Defense industry depends largely on the spending outlook of government departments, with the U.S. defense budget being the primary driver. The industry largely depends on U.S. government contracts. Given the uncertain macroeconomic environment, not just in the U.S. but also globally, the industry faces the risk of fewer new orders as customers are more likely to postpone or cancel contractual orders and/or payments. Defense spending is the major source of revenue for the top nine global aerospace and defense companies, with the US accounting for more than 40% of total global defense spending. However, with the U.S. government expected to institute greater austerity in its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (LLL) reported first quarter 2012 earnings per share of $2.01, comfortably surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.88 and last year&#8217;s $1.85. The bottom line was driven by strong sales and orders. Operating Statistics Quarterly net sales fell marginally by 0.4% year over year to $3.59 billion. Sales growth in the Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“C3ISR”) and Aircraft Modernization and Maintenance (“AM&#38;M”) segments were offset by lower sales from the Government Services segment. The sales figure was, however, above our expectation by $129 million. In the reported quarter, funded orders increased to $4.1 billion compared with $3.4 billion in the prior-year period, attributable to several new international business wins and several Department of Defense (“DoD”) and international contracts. The company’s recently acquired subsidiary, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our recommendation on AAR Corporation (AIR) from Neutral to Underperform. We have been witnessing an overcapacity in the aerospace market, aggravated by intense competition from the big and small industry players. Risk of lower military operations, delayed aircraft delivery and unscheduled maintenance inspections raise costs. In addition, inadequate debt financing, unfavorable aircraft lease agreement and currency fluctuations constrain profitability considerably. The company reported net income per diluted share of $0.50, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. However, our $15.00 target price, 8.2x 2012 EPS, reflects our downgrade in recommendation.

		<description><![CDATA[Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) posted mixed results for the December quarter surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate on the bottom line but missing the consensus at the top. Looking forward, the company offers a strong program portfolio positioned to take advantage of focus areas in the defense space, an improving balance sheet and an ongoing share repurchase program. Our bullish outlook for the company is supported by favorable projected revenue, diversified revenue and earnings streams, and discounted relative valuation metrics. However, our bullishness would be tempered by apprehension regarding defense cutbacks on high-cost platform programs, over-exposure to the DOD budget, lower backlog, cost over-runs and reductions in the Afghanistan and Iraq operations. Northrop Grumman is the fourth largest U.S. defense contractor behind The Boeing Company (BA); Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT); and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We currently remain on the sidelines with Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) due to the impact of the Euro-crisis on U.S. economic fundamentals. This keeps the risk high for further cutbacks in defense budgets. However, we believe market pessimism is fully accounted for in the current valuation of the defense behemoth, which is priced at a discount to both industry peers and the overall market. Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defense contractor with a platform-centric focus that guarantees a steady inflow of follow-on orders from a leveraged presence in the Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs. We expect the company to benefit from a strong defense focus on a number of its platform programs, such as the C-130 Hercules &#38; C-5 Galaxy transport aircrafts, F-16 Fighting Falcon multi-role jet, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our Neutral recommendation on Embraer S.A (ERJ). Improved worldwide commercial and defense aviation demand reflect a positive outlook for the future. In such a scenario, we believe Embraer will be able to sustain its strong position in the security solution business across Brazilian and other governments with a series of applications. Embraer’s worldwide customer orders servicing and on-time deliveries of corporate, defense jets and executive jet-support structures are worth mentioning. Such efforts are expected to foster stronger global footprints while generating healthy revenue in the near future. We are confident of the company’s diversification into broader defense and corporate jets, which are anticipated to lend more stability to the company’s earnings stream and foster cash flow growth, going forward. Conversely, concern remains as the competitive commercial aircraft manufacturing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[French conglomerate Dassault Group’s Rafale combat jet emerged as the lowest bidder for the multi-billion contract for the Indian Air Force. The $10.4 billion deal is for supplying 126 medium multi-role combat aircraft to the Indian Air Force (‘IAF’). The order heralded Rafale’s entry into the export market. Rafale’s entry into the export market is a major bad news for the beleaguered U.S. defense contractors who are looking offshore to compensate for the Pentagon’s planned axing of almost $1 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade. Although defense primes have mostly reported upbeat numbers for fiscal 2011, we are concerned about future growth in order backlogs from domestic programs. Rafale emerged the winner beating five contenders and arch-rival Eurofighter Typhoon. Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multi-role fighter. ]]></description>

The company posted fourth-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $2.14 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.94. However, this was lower than the year-ago quarterly earnings of $2.28 by a margin of 14 cents. The downcast in earnings, year over year, was due to lower government spending on defense. On a reported basis per share earnings were $2.09 versus $2.67 in the year-ago quarter. The variance of 5 cents in the reported quarter between operating and reported earnings was due to discontinued operations. Fiscal 2011 operating earnings came in at $7.85 per share, way above both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.63 and fiscal 2010 earnings of $7.10. On a reported basis, the company ]]></description>

The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. The U.S. defense budget for 2011 was $670.8 billion, with the base budget at $513 billion and another $157.8 billion approved as supplementary defense spending mainly to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

All the agronomic benefits of traditional nitrate-based fertilizers are present in Sulf-N 26, but it has very low explosive potential. Honeywell holds the patent for producing this new, dry granular ammonium sulfate nitrate (ASN) fertilizer. In this patented technique, ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate are chemically combined to produce a new and extremely stable molecule, a 26-0-0 14S fertilizer. The fertilizer, which has been found to be safe and effective for agricultural use compared with traditional nitrate-based fertilizers and also compatible with other fertilizers, has received SAFETY Act (Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies) ]]></description>

Northrop’s fortunes are heavily tied to missile defense-related programs and we caution that these programs are tempting targets in order to reduce the budget deficit. Northrop Grumman supplies a broad array of products and services to the U.S. Department of Defense. Its revenue and earnings growth are fortunately driven by its strong presence in the current focus areas of cyber security, modernization of defense and homeland security assets, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, advanced electronics and software development.

		<description><![CDATA[Defense major Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) received a contract from the U.S. Navy for continuing the development work of Infrared Search and Track (“IRST”) sensor system for the U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F. In a combat, the ability to strike first accurately holds the key to success. Lockheed’s IRST sensor system has given that edge to the defense department. The system developed by Lockheed significantly improves raid cell count and is 40 times more accurate than the conventional radar system. The technology used to develop the IRST system has enabled it to track down multiple targets over a large area at a single go and the sensor continues to perform at a consistent level despite the electronic attack or jamming of radars. The size of the sensor system enables it to be ]]></description>

The results of the company were 13 cents ahead of the year-ago figure of $1.70 per share. Total Revenue General Dynamics generated total revenue of $7.85 million in the reported quarter versus $8.01 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting a decline of 2.0%. The year-over-year decline in revenue was primarily attributable to lower contribution from its Marine Systems and Information Systems and Technology segments, marginally offset by growth in Aerospace, and Combat Systems. Reported quarter revenue however failed to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.3 billion. Segment Performance The Aerospace segment reported revenue of $1.4 billion, up 9.4% from the prior-year period. Operating income ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded our recommendation on Embraer S.A (ERJ) to Neutral from Outperform. The lowered rating is backed by the rising operating cost and significant international competition in the aircraft manufacturing industry, which may adversely affect the company’s margins and market share, respectively. Moreover, rise in wages in Brazil along with the rising fuel cost weakens our view on the stock. During the second quarter of 2011, the company posted improved results and raised its revenue and margin guidance with a positive outlook. The optimistic outlook is attributable to new strategic agreements, development investments and the anticipation of a strategic order wins from the improved worldwide commercial as well as defense aviation market.
