Canaccord analyst Ken Herbert noted reports Esterline (ESL) is exploring a sale and be believes it is part of an industry-wide consolidation. The analyst thinks an acquisition by TransDigm (TDG) would be a long shot, but he believes they could be interested in any opportunities as part of a restructuring. He believes an acquisition by the Carlyle Group (CG) or some other private equity firm makes the most sense. Herbert reiterated his Buy rating and $85 price target on Esterline shares.
