Applied Aerospace & Defense lowers price target despite Q3 revenue beat amid margin and cash flow concerns.

Applied Aerospace & Defense, Inc. remains a Buy, but its price target was lowered from $20.75 to $17.85 following guidance cuts. Although the company beat Q3 revenue expectations and reached a record backlog of $1.26 billion covering 75% of 2027 sales, margin contraction and negative free cash flow raise concerns about execution and cash conversion. The company faces challenges in ramping up production and recovering margins. While the valuation suggests significant upside, near-term performance in Q4 and full-year 2027 guidance will be crucial for maintaining investor confidence.

Applied Aerospace & Defense provides context for industrials sector performance on Pluang. For readers following Industrials, as of Nov 12, 2026 23:11 WIB, 77 of 135 US stocks rose and 58 fell.
