		<description><![CDATA[Raven Industries (RAVN) reported an EPS of $0.86 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus $0.72 in the year-earlier quarter, outperforming the Zacks Estimate of $0.74. The improvement was largely driven by the double-digit growth in sales in the Applied Technology and Aerostar segment. The company expects a record year in terms of sales and earnings, mainly driven by higher farm income. Given the company&#8217;s investments and cost-effective products, more and more customers would turn to Raven. In the long-term Raven expects net income growth in the range of 12%-15%. Thus, we reiterate our Outperform recommendation on the stock with a target price of $68.00. Our target price is 27.0x 2012 EPS, and reflects this recommendation.

		<description><![CDATA[Raven Industries Inc. (RAVN) delivered a net income of $12.9 million, or 72 cents per share in its first quarter, ended April 30, 2010, up from $9.2 million or 51 cents per share in the year-ago period. The company exceeded the Zacks Consensus estimate of 52 cents. The earnings climb of 41% was more pronounced than the 23% earnings rise delivered in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Factors like Raven’s improving markets, operational efficiencies and higher productivity, and introduction of Slingshot technology were instrumental to growth. Revenues in the quarter were $85 million, up 30% from $65.2 million in the year-ago period. The increase was driven by robust performance across all segments, led by Engineered Films with sales growth of 92%, closely followed by the Aerostar segment with sales ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Raven Industries Inc. (RAVN) reported fiscal third quarter results. The company posted earnings of 40 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents. However, quarterly earnings were 13% lower than last year due to the impact of economic downturn on the company’s top-line. Quarterly sales declined 20% to $60.2 million from $75.5 million in the year-ago quarter due to lower sales at three of its four segments. The Engineered Films Division reported a 30% decline in sales to $18.7 million, reflecting continued weakness in two of its major end markets (construction and energy). The company managed to partially offset the impact of lower sales by focusing on cost controls and productivity improvements in the division. In the Applied Technology Division, sales fell 19% to $21.0 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Raven Industries, Inc. (RAVN) recently entered into an agreement to buy Ranchview, Inc., a privately-held Canadian corporation. The company did not disclose the terms of the deal but said that this acquisition will contribute to next years’ earnings. Ranchview develops products that use cellular networks instead of the traditional radio systems that are typically used to deliver RTK (Real Time Kinematic) corrections to GPS enabled equipment. RTK corrections improve the accuracy of GPS equipment. This acquisition is in-line with Raven’s plans of increasing its market share in precision agriculture. The company sees increased acceptance of precision agricultural equipment as an essential tool for maximizing yields. Agricultural market fundamentals remain strong and we believe the Applied Technology division will continue to be a primary growth driver for Raven in the long-term. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aerostar International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Raven Industries, Inc. (RAVN), has been awarded $12.2 million under a five-year, IDIQ (indefinite delivery indefinite quantity) contract for the production of US Army T-11 personnel parachutes. The company expects the shipment of parachutes under this first order during the fiscal year beginning February 2010. The contract is expected to have annual releases that will continue through 2014. Despite securing an order for the first year and expected annual reorders, the company is not certain about the magnitude of the entire contract as it is an indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity contract. Management stated that this contract came at a good time for Aerostar as the MC-6 contract is expected to complete during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year ending ]]></description>

Quarterly earnings were 11% lower than last year due to the impact of economic downturn on the company’s two largest divisions. Quarterly sales declined 18% to $56.6 million from $69.3 million in the year-ago quarter due to lower sales at the Engineered Films and the Applied Technology segments. The Engineered Films Division reported a 43% decline in sales to $15.0 million, reflecting continued weakness in two of its major end markets (construction and energy).
