Ducommun Inc

Shares of aerospace and defense manufacturer Ducommun rose as its missile franchise, representing roughly 25% of its defense revenue, is directly benefiting from the Pentagon’s spending acceleration. Additionally, the company’s expansion into engineered products creates pricing power and margin expansion that traditional manufacturers cannot replicate, allowing the company to grow end markets while expanding profitability in a rising defense spending environment.

Ducommun is an aerospace and defence company. We think the combination of heightened geopolitical tensions, improvements in Boeing’s production rates and recent margin-enhancement initiatives could create a favourable operating environment.

We see a compelling investment case in Ducommun (DCO), a military and commercial aerospace supplier that fits one of our strongest current investment themes. We believe the aerospace and defense sector could see revenue growth regardless of a potential tariff impact or economic slowdown. DCO’s military and space backlog rose $100 million to $625 million in 2024, with a notable win from RTX for Tomahawk missiles. We think the end of quarter sell-off in DCO shares has created a compelling entry point in Ducommun shares. Given the long-term visibility we see in revenue, earnings, margin and free cash flow growth, we think DCO’s is a good candidate for a multi-year compounder.
