RBC Capital analyst Matthew McConnell lowered his price target on General Dynamics to $232 and kept his Outperform rating. The analyst cites his reduced expected margins for the Aerospace segment by 2-3 percentage points following the company's presentation at last week's investor conference as well as his recent conversations with the management. McConnell adds that General Dynamics remains one of the cheapest large defense plays which supports his rating, as it trades at about a 17% PE discount relative to peers, but lowers his FY19 EPS outlook to $12.39 from $12.87.
