Canadian business jet manufacturer Bombardier reported a 5% increase in first-quarter revenue, driven by robust demand for aftermarket services and improved supply chain performance from Honeywell. The services unit generated $617 million in revenue, highlighting the segment's growing importance to the company's profitability. In a significant update, Desjardins raised its price target for Bombardier from C$304.00 to C$324.00, maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. This revision comes as the shares were trading at approximately $210.55, signaling substantial upside potential according to the research firm. Consequently, Bombardier has officially raised its financial outlook for the year, citing stabilized deliveries of critical engines and avionics. Analysts suggest that the combination of strong service margins and positive analyst revisions strengthens the bullish case for the company's stock.
