		<description><![CDATA[General Dynamics (GD) raised its quarterly dividend to 42 cents per share on the company&#8217;s common stock, payable May 7, 2010, to shareholders of record as on April 9.  The dividend represents a 10.5% increase on the previous quarterly dividend of 38 cents. General Dynamics is a well-run company that is likely to continue to deliver on expectations driven by strong revenue growth, margin expansion and cash flow generation. Strong defense outlays should further improve the company’s outlook for shareholders while an increasing funded backlog and an improving balance sheet are the other positive factors. The company has one of the strongest balance sheets among its peers with a low debt-to-capitalization of 20.3% (Zacks industry average was 90.6%) for fiscal 2009. General Dynamics’ free cash flow from operations also reached $2.5 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Boeing Company (BA) yesterday announced that it will record a $1 billion charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The company attributed the charge from a delay in producing a new version of the 747-8 series freighter jet, leading to slow sales and late design changes. The aircraft competes with Airbus&#8217; A380 series aircraft. The goliath of commercial aerospace, Boeing has witnessed falling orders for its commercial planes in the recent times on account of tepid demand for air travel and cargo services.
