On June 11, Jefferies analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu upgraded General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE:GD) to Buy from Hold and raised the price target to $400 from $380. In a research note, the analyst said the company’s marine segment, which accounts for 33% of sales, has posted double-digit growth in 11 of the past 13 quarters. Jefferies noted that the U.S. Navy’s shipbuilding plan includes $125 billion in submarine procurement from fiscal 2027 through 2031, along with $6.2 billion for the submarine industrial base and $7.2 billion for submarine productivity. The firm now expects continued strength in General Dynamics’ near-term results, with the marine business supporting margin expansion.

Earlier, on May 18, Citi lowered its price recommendation on GD to $364 from $380. It reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm updated its aerospace and defense sector models and said it does not expect an “immediate V-shaped rally” without a resolution to the Middle East conflict. Citi still sees buying opportunities following the recent selloff and expects aerospace stocks to recover first, with defense names following later.
